Common questions on this part
Choose a Pt100 RTD for applications below 450°C requiring high accuracy (±0.15°C), such as food pasteurization, pharmaceuticals, and brewing. Choose a Type K Thermocouple for high-temperature applications from 450°C up to 1100°C, such as boiler combustion chambers, furnaces, kilns, and exhaust stacks.
For Type K thermocouples, specialized Type K thermocouple extension/compensating cable (KX or VX type with yellow/red insulation) must be used to prevent cold-junction measurement errors. For Pt100 RTDs, standard 3-core shielded copper instrument cable is used.
Yes. The Form B terminal head has standard 33mm center mounting holes that accept standard hockey-puck 4-20mA head transmitters (such as the BLX-TT-900 or Pixsys ATT1).
Yes. Custom probe lengths (up to 1500mm) and diameters with special flange mounts or compression fittings can be fabricated in Nairobi within 2 to 4 working days.
Yes. Standard 150mm, 200mm, and 300mm Type K and Pt100 sensors with 1/2" BSP threads are available off-the-shelf at STARNEX.
