NM0325205
Type “K” Stainless Steel Thermocouple Probe - 1/8” Diameter Sheath, 12 Ft Lead Wire, with Male Plug (Part # 25205, by ehs-hotfoil)
This Type “K” Thermocouple Probe, identified by Part # 25205 (as specified by the user from ehs-hotfoil), is a versatile and robust temperature sensing device. While specific publicly available details for this exact part number from ehs-hotfoil are limited, the probe's general specifications indicate a common and effective configuration for industrial and commercial temperature measurement. It features a durable stainless steel sheath and a generous 12-foot (approximately 3.66 meters) lead wire terminated with a standard male plug, making it suitable for accurate and reliable temperature monitoring in various applications.
Key Features & Benefits:
Type K Thermocouple: Utilizes Chromel-Alumel (NiCr-NiAl) alloys, making it one of the most widely used and versatile thermocouple types. It offers a broad temperature range, good linearity, and dependable performance.
Durable Stainless Steel Sheath: The probe's 1/8-inch (3.175 mm) diameter sheath is typically constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (e.g., 304 SS or 316 SS). This provides excellent protection for the thermocouple junction against harsh chemicals, moisture, and mechanical abrasion, ensuring durability in demanding environments.
Slim 1/8” Diameter: The slender 1/8-inch (3.175 mm) diameter allows for relatively fast thermal response times and facilitates insertion into small openings, thermowells, or processes where space is limited.
Extended 12-Foot Lead Wire: The long 12-foot (3.66 meter) lead wire provides ample reach, allowing the probe to be positioned accurately while the monitoring instrument or data logger can be located at a convenient distance. (Note: This length typically refers to the flexible insulated lead wire connected to a shorter rigid sheath probe).
Standard Male Plug Termination: Equipped with a standard male thermocouple plug (commonly a miniature or standard size type), ensuring easy and secure connection to compatible temperature controllers, indicators, data loggers, and other thermocouple reading devices.
Reliable Temperature Measurement: Designed to deliver consistent and accurate temperature readings across its specified range, essential for effective process control, monitoring, and safety protocols.
Typical Specifications (based on common industry standards for such a probe):
Manufacturer: ehs-hotfoil (As specified by user)
Part Number: 25205 (Specific to user's request)
Thermocouple Type: K (Chromel-Alumel)
Sheath Material: Stainless Steel (e.g., 304 SS or 316 SS)
Sheath Diameter: 1/8 inch (3.175 mm)
Sheath Length: Typically a shorter rigid length (e.g., 6 inches, 12 inches, 24 inches), fused to the lead wire.
Lead Wire Length: 12 feet (approx. 3.66 meters)
Junction Type: (Commonly Grounded for fast response, but could be Ungrounded or Exposed depending on application and manufacturer standard)
Connector Type: Male Thermocouple Plug (e.g., ANSI standard miniature or standard size)
Temperature Range: (Typical for Type K with SS Sheath: −200∘C to 1100∘C / −328∘F to 2012∘F. Maximum continuous use temperature for SS sheaths is usually lower, e.g., up to 900∘C / 1650∘F for 304 SS).
Accuracy: Standard Limits of Error (e.g., ±2.2∘C or ±0.75% of reading, whichever is greater, according to ANSI MC96.1/ASTM E230).
Insulation: (e.g., compacted Magnesium Oxide (MgO) within the sheath, PFA or Fiberglass for lead wire insulation).
Compliance: Generally conforms to ANSI/ASTM E230 (for thermocouple color codes and temperature-EMF tables).
Typical Applications:
Temperature monitoring in industrial ovens, furnaces, and kilns.
Process control within various industries, including chemical, petrochemical, and manufacturing.
HVAC systems and environmental chambers.
Food and beverage processing and storage.
Laboratory testing, research, and development.
General temperature sensing in liquid, gas, or solid media where high accuracy and durability are required.
