Suitable for plastics machinery and general purpose applications these mineral insulated bayonet sensors are available in thermocouple types K, T, J, N and E with an industry standard one slot adjustable bayonet cap fitting. The fitting can be fine tuned for positioning on site and is suitable where several applications in your plant require individual positioning of the assembly. The sensor is mineral insulated with a diameter of 4.5mm as standard but a 3.0mm option is available and rated to 800°C and can therefore be bent after installation for exact positioning. A choice of leads is available including stainless steel braided cable or flexible stainless steel conduit. As with any mineral insulated thermocouple the junction can be grounded or insulated.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a thermocouple and how does it work?
A thermocouple is a type of temperature sensor that generates a voltage when two different metals are joined at one end and exposed to a temperature difference between the "hot" junction (where the temperature is measured) and the "cold" junction (the reference point). This voltage is then measured to determine the temperature at the hot junction. - How do I choose the right thermocouple for my application?
The ideal thermocouple depends on factors such as temperature range, accuracy, termination type, mounting requirements and environmental conditions. We offer a variety of thermocouples with different sheath materials, constructions, terminations, and temperature ratings to meet your needs. If you need specific advice, our engineers are happy to assist! - What is the maximum temperature rating of your thermocouples?
Our thermocouples are designed to handle a wide range of temperatures with some mineral insulated thermocouples able to withstand temperatures up to 1400ºC and ceramic sheathed thermocouples going even higher to 1600ºC. Each product listing includes the maximum temperature rating, so you can choose the best thermocouple for your application.
