HPC-500

Product catalog summary
Overview: The HPC-500 Series by Capacitec, Inc. consists of threaded probes designed for precision dimensional measurement using capacitive sensors. These probes are known for their high displacement to sensor diameter ratio, offering twice the linear range compared to competitors. They are suitable for a wide range of temperatures, from cryogenic levels to 1000°C.
Specifications:
  • Material: 303 stainless steel for standard probes; Inconel 600® and Haynes 230® for high-temperature probes.
  • Temperature Ranges: Standard probes operate from 32°F to 302°F (0°C to 150°C) and -100°F to 400°F (-73°C to 205°C). High-temperature probes operate from -100°F to 1600°F (-73°C to 871°C) and -100°F to 1832°F (-73°C to 1000°C).
  • Probe Lengths: Standard lengths range from 0.500” to 2.000” with custom lengths available.
  • Connector Options: Microdot, BNC, or MCX, with compatibility restrictions for certain cables.
  • Cable Options: Various coaxial cables with specific diameters, not to be cut or spliced.
Procedures: Installation involves adjusting the probe to the desired distance and securing it with a set screw or split clamp housing. Calibration is NIST traceable with a 20-point archived record.
Recommendations: For custom configurations or specific temperature requirements, consulting Capacitec's technical support is advised. Optional protective epoxy dip coating is available for certain temperature probes.
Ordering Information: The ordering format includes specifications for operating temperature, probe length, cable type and length, connector type, and optional dip coating. An example order is provided for clarity.
Contact Information: Capacitec, Inc. has headquarters in the USA and Europe, with contact details provided for both locations.

HPC-500-1

HPC-500 HPC-500 Series Threaded Probes for Precision Dimensional Measurement Capacitec’s HPC non-contact probes are our most popular line of capacitive sensors. The sensor and guard elements are provided in a protective metal case. The HPC family of probes supports cable lengths of up to 10 meters in standard applications. Built in wrench flats allow for easy installation and adjustments. A set screw or split clamp housing typically holds the assembly in place for easy installation and adjustments. Capacitec also offers custom configurations. Please consult the Capacitec technical support team for more information. Adjust probe to desired distance and set screw in place © 2012 Capacitec, Inc. All rights reserved. These probes have the largest displacement to sensor diameter ratio in the industry, yielding twice the linear range of competitors. HPC cylindrical probes are available in a wide operational temperature range for precise measurements from cryogenic to 1000°C. Complete Standard Capacitec HPC family
