Multi Thermocouple Indicator




We offer a wide range of hand held thermocouple probes to suit a variety of applications. Depending on the thermocouple type, these probes can be supplied with a 1, 2, 5 or 10 metre (extended) coiled lead and a miniature flat pin plug which makes them suitable for all our hand held indicators as well as most other brands of indicators. They can also be connected to other instrumentation by using extension cable and the appropriate connectors.
Style | Description | Tip Image |
---|---|---|
AA | General Purpose Thermocouple ProbeMineral insulated thermocouple with a stainless steel sheath. Insulated hot junction. The tip and sheath may be operated up to 800°C and the sheath may be bent. Can be made to any length and in a choice of 3.0, 4.5 and 6.0mm diameters. |

HH | Heavy Duty Needle Penetration ProbeAll stainless steel construction, this sensor is similar to the standard Needle Penetration Sensor, however due to the 90° angle cable exit, the sensor can be hammered into hard surfaces such as frozen food. Can be made to any length up to 150mm, 6.35mm diameter. |
