Thermocouple Configuration

1. Calibration

Select One:

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:		Tip Styles: The application dictates the choice. e.g. Fast response time = Exposed Tip. (G)- TC measuring junction is one with the sheath so they have the same electrical potential. (U) – TC measuring junction is insulated from the sheath to eliminate outside electrical interference.
Type:

3. Element Type

Select One:

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

4. Sheath Material

Select One:

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:

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:		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:

8. 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.

9. Armor Length “A”

Enter Inches:

10. Leadwire Terminations

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

11.Leadwire Length “E”

Enter Inches:
