What pressure are these thermocouples rated for?

Asked by: Ellie2022
Thank you for your inquiry Ellie2022. Unfortunately, the TJ36 series are not pressure rated.

What length needs to be inserted into the process for an accurate reading with a 6inch probe?

Asked by: Peter00
Hi Peter, considering the thermocouple sensor is at the tip of the probe, it would be safe to assume 0.5-1 inch would be needed to get an accurate reading.

Hello, Can this thermocouple be welded around section B? Also, is it able to withstand pressures to up to 500 psi? Thank you

Asked by: Appm
The B section is where the Thermocouple wire is attached to the extension wire and potted. A tack weld could probably be made with a minimal amount of heat being applied. Omega does not pressure rate the probes but they do get used often in elevated pressures as what your inquiry suggests. If you need a probe with a pressure rating then the only one Omega offers is the pipe plug probe series.

Question, What are the voltage outputs between 0 and the max reading

Asked by: Cummins2300
Thank you for your inquiry. The voltage output varies with different thermocouple types but it would be in mV. If you have any further questions, please email temp@dwyeromega.com or call 1-888-826-6342.

Hi, What is the max temperature rating for the wire that connects the probe to the K-type connector? It looks like plastic shielding on the wire and I don't want to melt it.

Asked by: SLC1
Thank you for your inquiry. The max temperature the wire can handle is 260C (500F)

Can these be attached to a 2.5mm jack for use with a wireless bbq style type thermometer?

Asked by: Schwonkhead
Hi Schwonkhead, If your thermometer accepts a type K thermocouple then possibly yes. You'll need to check the wireless thermometer input specifications. Best regards OMEGA

I am looking for 2 stainless steel temperature probes to go into a 55 gallon drum that’s height  is 34 inches. I want to hook it to a controller to manage a heating blanket  to maintain a temperature between 68 to 75°F. What Would you recommend

Asked by: Deldoochy
This would need to be reviewed with a Temperature Engineer due to the complexity so please send an inquiry to temp@omega.com.
