Temperature sensors have all applications covered

A Labfacility product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Oct 4, 2005

The established range of Labfacility thermocouple and PRT sensors has been greatly enhanced to meet the needs of virtually any application.

The established range of Labfacility thermocouple and PRT sensors has been greatly enhanced to meet the needs of virtually any application.

Standard configurations or custom made assemblies are offered in all of the widely used calibrations, type J, K, N, R, S and B.

The choice of standard sheath materials include stainless steel, Inconel, Nicrobell, recrystallised alumina and silicon carbide; other materials are available to special order.

Depending on the choice of sensor type and sheath materials, temperature ratings of up to 1750C are available with single or duplex elements.

The comprehensive selection of mineral insulated thermocouples now features 0.5mm sheath diameter versions in addition to 1.0, 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0mm.

The 0.5mm diameter thermocouples combine low thermal mass and fast response to temperature changes with durable construction; they are highly flexible and their use minimises process intrusion.

Mineral insulated PRT sensors are now available in a range of diameters and configurations to meet the need for high accuracy, high stability, sheath flexibility and robust construction.

Other additions include a range of surface air temperature sensors and special melt bolt assemblies for plastics machinery.

The introduction of a new, cast, stainless steel terminal head allows for various forms of "all stainless steel" construction both in terms of wetted parts and overall assembly; such assemblies are suitable for chemical, food and pharmaceutical applications.

All thermocouples comply with cable colour codes and tolerances to IEC584-3 as standard but alternatives can be specified.

A family of installation fittings and compensating thermocouple connectors manufactured by Labfacility is also available from stock.
