Termocouple: cartridge with termocouple

The best complement

Cartridges can be made with inbuilt sounding lead at any point of the cartridge, according to the customers requirements. The advantages of the sounding lead are countless. For instance, length of cartridge life, accuracy e of localized temperature, energy saving and where a conventional sounding lead cannot be housed due to a question of space. Several types of temperature regulators which require a special thermocouple can be found on the market, eg, J or K.

Thermocouple isolated "Tr.A"

Model is fully insulated against the heating wire of the connections and the protecting sheath. Among its qualities the protection of the instruments for temperature measurements stands out. This is very important as the reading takes place within a few minutes and the reading-out continues to be quick.

Thermocouple isolated "Tr.B"

The joint of the thermocouple, in this model, is in contact with the protecting sheath of the cartridge heater, thereby giving a quick and accurate reading where the cartridge is housed.

Thermocouple isolated "Tr.C"

This model can be housed according to the customers requirements. This is important for long cartridges so that a medium temperature is obtained.

Installation recommendations

When a thermocouple cartridge heater is installed, several factors must be noted. If the temperatures of several cartridge heaters need to be controlled, it is advisable to place the thermocouple in the middle of the group. The thermocouple should never be placed at one of the endings of the cartridge as this will send out wrong inner temperature information to the heater. The wire of the thermocouple is 1 meter long, you should compensate and adjust your regulator to have a more accurate temperature reading.
