When added protection to the conductors is required,
a secondary closed end ceramic sheath within the primary
metal protection sheath can be specified. This composite
protection sheath will encompass the twin or four bore
insulators and their associated thermocouple elements.

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

EXPOSED
Fastest response mainly for the measurement of air temperature in ducts. Restricted to a maximum operating temperature of 1110°F
