Overview
The Handle Type Armored Thermocouple is a portable and durable temperature sensor designed for flexible, on-the-go temperature measurement. Featuring a rugged stainless steel sheath and an ergonomically designed handle, this thermocouple is ideal for use in environments where mobility, fast response, and manual operation are required. It is widely used in maintenance, inspection, laboratory testing, and various field applications.
Structure & Function
This product consists of three main components:
- Sensing Element: A thermocouple wire (commonly type K, J, or T) located at the probe tip, which generates an electrical signal based on temperature.
- Armored Probe: A stainless steel or Inconel sheath protects the thermocouple element from mechanical stress, corrosion, and high temperatures.
- Insulated Handle: Designed with high-temperature-resistant and anti-slip materials, the handle ensures safe and convenient manual operation even in hot environments.
The probe measures temperature by generating a thermoelectric voltage at the measuring junction, which is transmitted to a digital thermometer or measurement instrument.
Key Features
- Ergonomic Design: The handle allows for quick and safe hand-held use, reducing operator fatigue during repeated measurements.
- Durable Armoring: The armored sheath resists abrasion, bending, vibration, and harsh working conditions.
- Fast Response Time: The exposed or grounded tip ensures rapid temperature detection and high accuracy.
- Portable Use: Lightweight and easy to carry, perfect for field diagnostics, equipment maintenance, and quality control checks.
- Flexible Customization: Probe diameter, length, handle shape, connector type, and cable can all be tailored to your needs.
Typical Applications
- Industrial equipment spot-checking
- HVAC maintenance
- Food safety and cooking temperature checks
- Plastic injection mold monitoring
- Laboratory testing and research
- Field inspections and quality audits
