Weatherproof IP65 Head Type Temperature Sensor Pt100, J Type and K Type

A. Product Overview

The Weatherproof IP65 Head Type Temperature Sensor is an industrial temperature sensing device used for reliable temperature measurement in demanding process environments. Its IP65 rated weatherproof head protects the internal terminal connection from dust, water ingress, humidity and external environmental conditions.

This sensor is available in Pt100, J type and K type options, making it suitable for both RTD and thermocouple based temperature measurement. Depending on the application requirement, it can be supplied in simplex or duplex construction.

The sensor is commonly used where the measuring point is exposed to moisture, dust, outdoor atmosphere, process vibration or industrial surroundings. It can be manufactured with probe diameters such as 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and 12 mm, probe lengths from 50 mm to 5000 mm, BSP and NPT thread sizes and sheath materials such as SS304, SS316, S310 and Inconel.

B. Working Principle

The working principle depends on the sensing element used inside the temperature sensor.

In a Pt100 RTD temperature sensor, the resistance of the platinum element changes as the temperature changes. At 0°C, the Pt100 element has a resistance of 100 ohms. The connected temperature indicator, controller or transmitter reads this resistance change and converts it into a temperature value.

In a J type or K type thermocouple temperature sensor, two different metal wires are joined at the sensing tip. When the measuring junction is exposed to heat, it generates a small voltage. This voltage changes according to temperature and is converted into a temperature reading by the connected instrument.

The weatherproof IP65 head protects the wire termination area and helps maintain stable signal transmission from the sensor to the control panel, PLC, temperature controller or indicator.

C. Why It Is Used

Weatherproof IP65 Head Type Temperature Sensors are used because they offer stable and protected temperature measurement in harsh industrial conditions.

They are preferred when the sensor is exposed to dust, moisture, rain, humidity, outdoor installation or rough plant conditions. The IP65 head helps protect the terminal connection from environmental damage and improves sensor reliability.

This type of sensor is also useful because it can be customized as per process requirement. Users can select the sensor type, temperature range, probe length, probe diameter, thread size and sheath material based on the application.

Main reasons for using this sensor include:

Reliable temperature measurement in harsh environments
