KM04 EXTENDED TYPE ‘K’ GENERAL PURPOSE PROBE
GENERAL PURPOSE PROBE - 3.0 mm Type ‘K’
Description
This probe uses the straight handle for fine control. The probe is truly general purpose and may be
used for gas, liquid or applications with difficult access.
Construction
Minerally Insulated Probe 3.0 mm Diameter by 300mm Long : Stainless Steel 316 (Food Grade)
2M curly polyurethane cable with moulded connector. Complete waterproof assembly.
Sensor Features
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.
WATERPROOF HANDLE
Due to the total encapsulation method used, all TME probe handles are completely waterproof.
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.
HIGH ACCURACY THERMOCOUPLE MATERIAL THROUGHOUT
Type ‘K’ Thermocouple : Class I (±01.5°C ±0.25%)
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.
WIDE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATION : -30 TO 50 °C
TIME RESPONSE (96%of value in water) : 2.0 Secs
MEASUREMENT RANGE : -200 TO 1100 °C
