Which thermocouple to choose brochure

Temperature sensors

The measurement of temperature is a very important element in many parts of research and industry.

A well-known and proven method in temperature measurement is the use of thermocouples.

Accurate and fast measurements, easy mounting, simple utilisation and interchangeability as well as low-cost production are the reasons for the widespread applications of the thermocouples.

They are resistant to heat and pressure and relatively insensitive to parasites.

Specific technical requirements like within nuclear reactors, in space research or in medical fields led to the development of sheathed thermocouples of small dimensions, high insulation resistance and high resistance to aggressive media.

All this is being fulfilled by miniature sheathed thermocouples.

THERMOCOAX offers the best possible solutions to temperature measurement. Many sensors are standard off-the-shelf designs, but many others are especially designed and manufactured to customer requirements, within a wide range of specifications or even developed in partnership with our customers.

Small overall dimensions and high flexibility enable temperature measurement in locations with poor accessibility.
High mechanical strength.
Protection of the thermoelectric wires against oxidation, corrosion and chemical pollution.

Accurate measurement

Short response time: as an example, the intrinsic response time of a 0.25 OD mm THERMOCOAX thermocouple is 7 ms, the actual response in high velocity air is then 0.1 s. This very fast response time allows measurement of very short temperature variations.

Easy fitting

The continuous metallic sheath ensures a mechanical and chemical protection of the couple and THERMOCOAX thermocouples can be attached directly to metal parts
