Watlow AT Style Mineral Insulated Thermocouple with Thermowell
Designed for use with thermowells for process petrochemical and power applications.
Overview
Features
- Special mineral insulation protects thermocouple form moisture and thermal shock
- Permits operation in high termperature and pressure environments
- Small diameters are ideal when physical space or extremely fast response are critical
- Flexible NACTPAK material allows forming and bending of the thermocouple
- Outer sheath protects wires from oxidation and hostile environments
- Wide range of sheath materials, diameters and calibrations to meet specific requirements
Description
The Watlow AT style mineral insulated thermocouple with thermowells feature high-quality Watlow sensors with 316 SS straight or tapered thermowells, nipple-union-nipple, 0.250 inch diameter spring loaded element, small aluminum connection heads, and ungrounded junction.
Watlow Mineral Insulated Thermocouples
Watlow mineral insulated thermocouples are fast-responding, durable, and capable of handling higher temperatures.
Watlow mineral insulated thermocouples are manufactured with XACTPAK®, Watlow's trademark for metal-sheathed, mineral insulated (MI) thermocouple material. XACTPAK responds fast because the protective metal outer sheath allows the use of smaller diameter thermocouple conductors. The rock hard compacted MgO insulation further enhances the sensor's ability to "read" temperature by transferring heat quickly to the measuring junction.
The XACTPAK protecting sheath and compacted insulation outperforms bare wire thermocouples in most applications.
