1. Calibration
Select One: Maximum temperature limits for each ANSI type thermocouple material vary depending on sheath material, application atmosphere, wire gauge, insulation, and epoxy composition.
2. Junction
Tip Style: Tip style defines the surface area or shape of the thermocouple sensing tip, and the junction type is based on the application. Grounded junctions offer faster response; ungrounded types reduce noise and increase lifespan.
Type:
3. Element Type
Select One: Up to three thermocouples in a single sheath. Ungrounded junctions can be connected to different instruments.
4. Sheath Operating Temperature
Select One: The maximum temperature impacts calibration, size, and material of the sensor.
5. Sheath Material
Select One: 304SS and 316SS are commonly used. Choice depends on temperature and corrosive conditions.
6. Sheath Diameter
Select One: Diameter affects performance. Larger sizes are better for high-temperature applications.
7. Sheath Length “L”
Enter Inches: The accuracy of the thermocouple is not affected by the length of the sheath. Consult the factory if the probe length exceeds 120 inches.
8. Terminations
Select One:
Temperature:
The type of termination selected may be restricted by the wire gauge.
9. Fittings
Select Type: Fittings of all thread sizes, materials, and designs are available for most applications.
(For Compression, Bushing, or Hex Nipple only)
Select NPT:
10. Fitting Location “F”
Enter inches from tip (“N” for None): Measured from the first thread to the sheath tip. Consider thread-in insertion length when determining location.
11. Special Options














12. Bend Angle
Select One: Do not bend on a radius smaller than 2x the sheath diameter for mineral insulated thermocouples.
13. Bend Location “C”
Enter inches from tip (“N” for None): Minimum bend location depends on sheath diameter for Mineral Insulated sensors.
