CO o o Temperature range The different categories of temperature probes in the market have a range in which they can operate properly, where the exposure on this temperature range cause no damage to the various probe elements. The use of probes in applications with temperatures out of the recommended range may cause serial damages, making the probes unrecoverable or causing a reduction in the lifetime of this equipment. Maximum temperature Exposure of the probe to temperatures above the range can impact its durability and correct operation. Response time The response time of a probe to temperature...

The precision and accuracy of temperature probes has distinct meanings. Precision is the exactness between recorded measurements. Accuracy refers to the degree of match between the registered values and the real / nominal temperature value, used as a reference. Different accuracy and precision needs will help to define the best probe for the application under consideration. Stability The stability of a temperature probe is the ability to keep a consistent output to a determined temperature. Probe materials play a fundamental role in sensor stability. Sensitivity The sensitivity of temperature...

Key elements of a probe Temperature probes are composed of several interconnected elements. The industries where the application of temperature probes is essential for the process determine the type of probes needed and the combinations of elements for the probe assembly.

Connection head Component with several composition materials for the protection of the signal acquisition and electrical connection. Adjustable accessory for connection to the process Accessory to fix the probe to the measurement process. Threaded systems adjustable, welded connectors and sealed. Metal or ceramic protection sheath A material whose function is to protect sensor elements from chemical and mechanical interferences. Isolated thermocouples elements Point of temperature measurement with the union of two conducting wires.

Thermocouples Temperature measurement using thermocouples is based on the Seebeck effect, which consists of two fused conductive elements (hot joints), of different materials. IEC 60584.1 (BS EN 60584.1) standard defines the values of the thermoelectric voltage and maximum tolerances of thermocouples. Thermocouples can be divided into groups of base metals and noble metals. Thermocouples E, J, K, N, and T belong to the group base metals, which are used most frequently and are relatively cheaper than the others. Thermocouples B, R, and S are characterized by noble metals. Regarding lifetime, in...

Thermocouples can be incorporated in many types, however, there are some aspects to take into account on installation that influence its correct functioning: - Self temperature: the thermocouples measure their own temperature, therefore the metallic junction of measurement has the same temperature as the medium or process that we intend to monitor; - Immersion: metals are conductors of heat. In immersion applications, to have a more accurate measurement, the sensor must be submerged to a depth 10 times greater than the diameter of the sheath, to reduce the conduction of heat by your body. - Thermal...
