High Temperature Thermocouple with Die Cast Alloy Flip Top BUZ Head

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
  • Terminated in a die cast alloy flip top terminal head
  • Calibration service for oxidizing and inert environments up to 3970°F

2 Insulation Material Comments Max.
Temperature
MGO

Magnesium Oxide
MgO

Very hygroscopic. Used mostly in compacted sheaths. 3090°F
ALO Aluminium Oxide
Al2O3
Excellent with Platinum alloys. 2820°F
HFO Hafnium Oxide
HfO3
Comparible to Berylium Oxide and safe to handle. 3990°F
* Please refer to the Sheath Material table above for applicable diameters

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

GROUNDED
Hot junction welded to sheath tip giving earthed output and faster response to temperature changes
