Also available with ATEX Approval
These semi rigid thermocouples are supplied with a spring loaded terminal block and can be used to replace an insert in an existing application. They can be used with service temperatures up to 2280ºF (minimum stand-off lengths must be observed).
  • Available in a wide range of protection concepts for Zones 0, 1 & 2 use. See table below for details
  • Temperature classification T6-T1, see here for stand-off requirements
  • Available in thermocouple types K, T, J, N, E, R, S and B
  • Sheath diameters from 0.118" to 0.315" in a wide choice of materials
  • Insulated measuring junction gives a floating output with high insulation resistance
  • UKAS calibration available.
Available with the following approvals:

INSULATED
Hot junction insulated from sheath. Gives floating output with typical insulation resistance in excess of 100 megohms

Assemblies with pot seals are supplied with short tails as shown. However, where leads are several metres or more long, it is more suitable to have an overall sheathed cable. We recommend the following cables.
