PRODUCT DESCRIPTION ValidationThermocouple Wire Validation Thermocouple wire

The preferred method of temp measurement for pharmaceutical validation purposes is the copper/Constantan thermocouple, more commonly known as the type ‘T’ thermocouple. This thermocouple was developed for use within the range of –40 to +350°C and generates a higher mV output per °C than other thermocouples in this temperature range. The tolerance value for this thermocouple is also considerably better than that of other thermocouple types. A further enhancement to this method is to have the welded hot junction encapsulated in a pre-formed Teflon® tip. This method ensures that the frequently annoying incidence of condensate travelling up the inner jacket of the thermocouple by capillary action, is prevented. Encapsulation further ensures that the rate of oxidisation of the thermocouple hot junction is reduced. Product code : VTFP
