Thermocouple connector design for demanding applications

The most frequently measured process variable at the moment is temperature. Previous studies indicate that of all recorded process data, approximately 60% is temperature related.

Temperature measurement for industrial applications is accomplished with thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors. Thermocouple and resistance thermometry both sense temperature using very low voltage signals.

Any part of the electrical circuit that is incompatible with maintaining the integrity, electrical and EMF properties of the circuit will adversely affect the output signal. The proper design and manufacture of all components in the measuring circuit are therefore essential to realizing and preserving the accuracy of the observed temperature measurement.

Thermocouple materials

For demanding applications

The Hamitherm thermocouple connectors are designed such that they will meet the requirements of the most demanding applications. Products will cover ambient temperatures from -200ºC up to 650ºC.

The thermoplastic material used is a 30% glass filled PETP with outstanding strength characteristics even at temperatures exceeding 200ºC.
The thermoset material is epoxy based and performs well up till 350ºC. The ceramic body in high purity alumina oxide will cover the high temperature applications up to 650ºC.

All screws and plates are made in stainless steel to ensure a proper function also under adverse operating conditions.
Hamitherm has used all its expertise and experience in sensor manufacturing in the design of the thermocouple connector product line. Together with the range of available accessories this has resulted in a product range that will ensure excellent value for money.
