Push In Thermocouple With Long Tip for Industrial Temperature Measurement

A. Product Overview

Push-In Thermocouple with Long Tip is used to measure temperature by inserting the probe directly into a process, material, machine part or heating zone. The long tip design allows the sensor to reach deeper measurement points and provide better contact with the surface or medium being measured.

This thermocouple is available in different sensor types such as J, K, T, E and RTD. It can be supplied with different tip diameters, tip lengths, thread connections, wire lengths and junction options as per application requirement.

Typical specifications include:

Type: J, K, T, E and RTD
Temperature Range: -50 to 500 °C
Tip Size: Diameter 4 to 6 mm and Length 20 to 100 mm
Thread Connection: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, M6, M8, M12 and custom options
Wire Length: 0.5 meter to 10 meter
Junction Type: Grounded and Ungrounded

B. Working Principle

A push-in thermocouple works on the thermoelectric principle. It contains two different metal wires joined at one sensing point. When this sensing point comes in contact with heat, it generates a small voltage signal according to the temperature.

This signal is sent to a temperature controller, indicator, data logger or PLC. The instrument reads the signal and displays the temperature value.

In a long tip thermocouple, the extended probe allows deeper insertion into the process or equipment. This helps the sensor measure temperature from the actual required point instead of only the surface area.

C. Why It Is Used

Push-In Thermocouple with Long Tip is used when normal temperature sensors cannot reach the correct measurement point. It is useful in applications where the temperature needs to be measured inside a machine, barrel, mold, chamber or process area.

Key reasons for using this sensor:

It provides accurate temperature measurement in deep locations.
It offers easy push-in installation.
It helps maintain proper contact with the measured surface or process.
It is suitable for industrial machinery and heating applications.
It can be customized as per tip length, wire length and thread size.
It works reliably in demanding industrial environments.
It can be connected with controllers, indicators and monitoring systems.
It helps improve process control and product quality.

FAQ

1. What is a Push-In Thermocouple with Long Tip?

A Push-In Thermocouple with Long Tip is a temperature sensor designed to be inserted into machinery, process equipment or material for accurate temperature measurement. The long tip helps the sensor reach deeper measurement points.

2. Where is this thermocouple used?

It is used in industrial machinery, plastic processing machines, heating systems, molds, process equipment, packaging machines, food processing equipment and other temperature monitoring applications.

3. What temperature range does it support?

The typical temperature range is -50 to 500 °C, depending on the thermocouple type, sheath material and application condition.

4. Which sensor types are available?

It is available in J type, K type, T type, E type and RTD options.

5. What is the advantage of a long tip thermocouple?

The long tip allows the sensor to reach deeper areas inside the machine or process. This gives better temperature accuracy compared to sensors that only measure near the surface.

6. What is the difference between grounded and ungrounded junction?

A grounded junction gives faster response because the sensing element is connected to the sheath. An ungrounded junction gives better electrical isolation and is preferred where electrical noise or interference is a concern.

7. Can the wire length be customized?

Yes, the wire length can be supplied from 0.5 meter to 10 meter or as per application requirement.

8. Which thread connections are available?

Common thread options include 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, M6, M8 and M12. Custom thread connections can also be provided depending on the requirement.

9. How do I select the right Push-In Thermocouple with Long Tip?

To select the right model, check the required temperature range, thermocouple type, tip diameter, tip length, thread connection, wire length, junction type and application environment.

10. Is this suitable for harsh industrial environments?

Yes, this thermocouple is suitable for industrial applications where durable construction, accurate measurement and reliable performance are required. The protective sheath helps protect the sensing element from damage and wear.
