Description
Thermocouples in this series can be combined with a large number of thermowell designs. Use without a thermowell is permitted when using a fixed (welded) fitting.
A wide variety of possible combinations of sensor, connection head, insertion length, neck length, connection to thermowell etc. are available for the thermometers; suitable for almost any thermowell dimension.

Measuring insert
| Versions | Vibration-resistant, sheathed cable (mineral-insulated cable, MI cable) | |
|---|---|---|
| Optimal heat transfer | Requirement | ■ Correct measuring insert length ■ Correct measuring insert diameter |
| Bore diameter of the thermowell | Max. 1 mm[0.04 in] larger than measuring insert diameter | |
| Gap width | For joint width > 0.5 mm[> 0.02 in] between thermowell and measuring insert: →Negative impact on heat transfer →Unfavourable response behaviour of the thermometer | |
| Measuring insert diameter Ø d | ■ 3.0mm ■ 6.0mm ■ 8.0mm ■ 1/8 in or 0.125 in [3.17 mm] ■ 3/16 in or 0.188 in [4.75 mm] ■ 1/4 in or 0.250 in [6.35 mm] | |
| Other measuring insert diameters on request | ||
| Insertion length | When fitting the measuring insert into a thermowell, it is very important to determine the correct insertion length (= thermowell length for bottom thicknesses of ≤ 5.5 mm[≤ 0.22 in]). In order to ensure that the measuring insert is firmly pressed down onto the bottom of the thermowell, the insert must be spring-loaded (spring travel: 0 ... 10 mm[0 ... 0.39 in]). | |
| Spring travel | Max. 10 mm[0.39 in] |
