Thermocouples and Pt100 Sensors for use in Pharmaceutical Applications

Load and Drain Thermocouples and RTD Sensors for Autoclaves and Sterilisers

TC Ltd supply thermocouples and RTD Pt100 Sensors specifically designed to withstand the harsh conditions found in the autoclave chambers of sterilisers.


We offer a range of thermocouple and RTD Pt100 sensors designed for specific applications in and around autoclaves and sterilisers.

The range includes autoclave load and drain thermocouples / Pt100's as well as general purpose thermocouples and basic 'welded tip' thermocouples made from specialised gas and water tight cables. We also offer a range of other complementary cables.

Thermocouples for autoclaves are usually Type T or Type K and are available with a single or duplex element with various cable options including stainess steel armoured cables. RTD Pt100 sensors are generally available in the same designs.

All our sensors are available with UKAS certification if required with standard versions available from stock.
