SURFACE (BAND) PROBE TYPE ‘K’

RIBBON SURFACE PROBE - Type ‘K’

Description

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

surface temperatures giving a fast response time.

Construction

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

(Food Grade)

2M curly polyurethane cable with moulded connector.

Sensor Features

Ø

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.

Ø

WATERPROOF HANDLE

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

Ø

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.
