Style FM - Miniature Transition Assembly

Style FM – Miniature Transition Assembly

1. Transition

Select One:

A durable stainless tube which allows for the mechanical and electrical attachment of the lead wire to the metal sheathed, minerally insulated thermocouple probe.

2. Calibration

Select One:

Maximum temperature limits for each ANSI type thermocouple material are given (see “more info”), but vary with sheath materials, atmospheres, wire gauge, insulation, and epoxy.

3. Junction

Tip Style:		Tip style defines the shape of the sensing tip (round, flat, etc.). Type junction depends on application: ungrounded for isolation/life; grounded for performance. Each has advantages.
Type:

4. Element Type

Select One:

Up to three separate thermocouples in a single sheath. Separate ungrounded junctions can be wired to different instruments.

5. Sheath Operating Temperature

Select One:

The maximum temperature of the application affects the calibration, diameter, and material of the sensor selected.

6. Sheath Material

Select One:

The application dictates the choice of sheath materials. 304SS and 316SS are common, but extreme temperatures or corrosion may require others.

7. Sheath Diameter

Select One:

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.

8. 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.

9. Leadwire Construction

Material:		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:

10. Leadwire Gauge

Select One:

Insulated wire, solid or stranded, in a variety of insulations is carried in the most common sizes from 16 to 24 gauge.

11. Leadwire Length “A”

Enter Inches:

There is no limit to the leadwire length however when the distance to the instruments is 150 feet or more a 4-20ma signal conditioner is recommended.

12. Leadwire Terminations

Select One:		The type of termination selected may be restricted by the wire gauge.
For Plugs and Jacks Only:
Temperature:
Clamp:

13. Special Options

Select additional options to customize the thermocouple assembly based on specific application needs.
