Sheath thermocouples comprise a thin-walled and flexible sheathed cable made of stainless steel or Inconel®. The cable contains thermal wires embedded in pressed fireproof magnesium oxide. Good heat transfer between sheath and thermocouple allows fast response times and high measuring accuracies.
The vibration-proof design assures long service life. The flexible probe tube allows temperature measurements at locations that are difficult to access. The minimum bend radius is 5 x outer diameter.
The minimum mounting length is ≥ 50 mm for sheath diameter 0.5 to 2.0 mm; ≥ 100 mm for sheath diameter 3.0 to 6.0 mm.
Thermocouples according to IEC 584-1, category 2 are used in the measuring insert as standard. Thermocouples according to DIN 43710.
