High Temperature Thermocouple with basic end seal
High Temperature Metal Sheathed Thermocouples (Type 27)
These high temperature thermocouples are used in applications where other thermocouples would fail due to excessive heat or severe environments. Utilising specialist exotic sheath materials such as Platinum 10% Rhodium, Molybdenum
and Tantalum they can be used in service temperatures up to 4170°F. The combination of conductor, insulation material and sheath must be carefully selected to suit your process environment, service temperature and installation
requirements (ie. whether the probe is flexible or not). Our experienced sales team are on hand to assist where required so please contact us if help is required.
- Typically used with high temperature thermocouple types R, S, B, C and D
- Temperatures up to 3990°F (continuous) or 4170°F (short term)
- Semi-Rigid (mineral insulated) and Rigid (tube) styles available
- Basic end seal termination to allow the user to apply their own termination on site
- Calibration service for oxidizing and inert environments up to 3970°F
