1. Calibration
Select One:
Type J
Type K
Type T
Type E
Type S
Type R
Type N
Type B
Other
Maximum temperature limits for each ANSI type thermocouple materials are given (see “more info” button), however these will vary depending on sheath materials, application atmospheres, wire gauge size, insulating materials and epoxy composition.
2. Junction
Tip Style:
Round Tip
Flat Tip
118 Deg. Drill Tip
Tip style defines the surface area or shape of the thermocouple sensing tip, i.e. round tip (std), flat tip, drill point tip (118 deg), etc., which is determined by your application process. The type junction again is determined by the application, i.e., ungrounded for process noise isolation, longer life, whereas, in general a grounded junction provides a compromise between performance (fast response) and thermocouple life. Each style and type of junction has its advantages and disadvantages see “more info” button for specific information.
Type:
Grounded
Ungrounded
3. Element Type
Select One:
Single
Duplex
Up to three separate thermocouples in a single sheath. Separate ungrounded junctions can be wired to different instruments.
4. Sheath Material
Select One:
304SS
316SS
Other
The application dictates the choice of sheath materials. 304SS and 316SS are most commonly used but temperatures and corrosive conditions can necessitate the use of other materials.
5. Sheath Diameter
Select One:
.125"
.188"
The Mineral Insulated thermocouples come in a number of sizes but the choice is greatly influenced by the maximum temperature of the application. For high temp applications bigger is better.
6. Sheath Length "L"
Enter Inches:
Although the accuracy of the thermocouple is not affected by the length of the sheath consult the factory when the probe length exceeds 120 inches.
7. Leadwire Construction
Material:
Fiberglass
Teflon®
Kapton
Other
Know the application atmosphere and limitations – temperature, moisture, corrosion and abrasion. Flexible wire is available in solid or stranded conductors with many sizes (gauge), insulations and calibrations to meet nearly all applications.
Configuration:
Solid Conductor
Solid Conductor - SS Overbraid
Solid Conductor - SS Armor
Stranded Conductor
Stranded Conductor - SS Overbraid
Stranded Conductor - SS Armor
8. Leadwire Gauge
Select One:
26 Gauge
24 Gauge
20 Gauge
Insulated wire, solid or stranded, in a variety of insulations is carried in the most common sizes from 16 to 24 gauge.
9. Armor Length "A"
Enter Inches:
10. Leadwire Terminations
Select One:
No Split / No Strip
Split Leads
Spade Lugs
Ring Lugs
1/4 Push-on
Bx Connector w/ #8 lugs
Std Male Plug
Std Female Jack
Mini Male Plug
Mini Female Jack
Other
The type of termination selected may be restricted by the wire gauge.
For Plugs and Jacks Only:
Temperature:
None
Std (425 F)
Hi (660 F)
Ceramic (1200 F)
Clamp:
