DUAL PURPOSE SURFACE / IMMERSION PROBE TYPE ‘K’

Description

This probe uses the straight handle for fine control. The probe is designed for the measurement of

both surface temperatures and Immersion temperatures.

NOTE: This probe only requires light pressure to give a true reading and is suitable for smooth,

clean surfaces. If used on an uneven surface, there is a risk that the band will be weakened

and deformed.

Construction

Ribbon band sensor with thermocouple sensor attached and draught shield : Stainless Steel 316

(Food Grade) Sealed with Silicon Rubber compound to ensure the probe is fully waterproof.

2M curly polyurethane cable with moulded connector.

Sensor Features



TOTAL ENCAPSULATION TECHNIQUE FOR MAXIMUM STRENGTH AND DURABILITY.

This results in a solid handle as opposed to a hollow handle. This is particularly important as there is

often damage to the handles caused by excess heat. With a hollow handle it is possible to puncture

the outer plastic and damage the sensor irreparably.



WATERPROOF HANDLE

Due to the total encapsulation method used, all TME probe handles are completely waterproof.



TOUGH POLYURETHANE CABLE



Polyurethane cables are used in place of the standard PVC for the following reasons :-



Greater retractability



Enhanced memory of it’s curl



Non–Toxic



Greater mechanical strength for durability



12 X 0.2mm wires used internally for greater strength.



PTFE inner insulation for strength and retractability.

HIGH ACCURACY THERMOCOUPLE MATERIAL THROUGHOUT

Type ‘K’ Thermocouple

: Class I

(±1.5°C ±0.25%)



POLYPROPYLENE HANDLES

Polypropylene is an extremely tough and durable material, commonly used for milk crates, it has good

low temperature performance and a relatively high melt temperature. It performs exceptionally well

under chemical attack.
