LIGHT DUTY TYPE ‘K’ GENERAL PURPOSE PROBE

GENERAL PURPOSE PROBE - 1.5 mm Type ‘K’

Description

This probe uses the straight handle for fine control. The probe is truly general purpose and may be

used for gas, liquid or applications with difficult access.

Construction

Minerally Insulated Probe 1.5mm Diameter by 100mm Long : Stainless Steel 316 (Food Grade)

2M curly polyurethane cable with moulded connector. Complete waterproof assembly.

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 polyurethane 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.

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.
