EAC Ex Approved Thermocouples for the Petrochemical, Oil and Gas Industries

with Dual Entry Die Cast Alloy Head

These semi rigid thermocouples are supplied with an IP68 terminal head and are ideal where a heavy duty connection with cable is to be made near the sensor. They can be used with service temperatures up to 1250ºC (minimum stand-off lengths must be observed).
  • Available in a wide range of protection concepts for Zones 0, 1 & 2 use. See table below for details
  • Temperature classification T6-T1, see here for stand-off requirements
  • Available in thermocouple types K, T, J, N, E, R, S and B
  • Metrological / Pattern Approval Certificate (PAC) for Russia also available on request, contact us for details
  • Additional Primary verification “POVERKA” available on request, contact us for a quotation if required
  • Sheath diameters from 4.5mm to 8.0mm in a wide choice of materials
  • Insulated measuring junction gives a floating output with high insulation resistance
  • Simplex, duplex and triplex sensors available
  • UKAS calibration available.
Available with the following approvals:
