## **DATA SHEET** 

## **KA04 AIR TEMPERATURE  PROBE TYPE ‘K’** 

## **AIR TEMPERATURE  PROBE  -  Type ‘K’** 

## Description 

This probe uses the straight handle for fine control.  This probe is used for the measurement of the temperature of gasses.  Ideal for applications requiring air temperature measurement within small openings. 

## Construction 

The probe features an exposed thermocouple junction protected by a stainless steel sheath : Stainless Steel 316 (Food Grade) 

2M curly polyurethane cable with moulded connector. 

## **Sensor Features** 

## � **TOTAL ENCAPSULATION TECHNIQUE FOR MAXIMUM STRENGTH AND DURABILITY.** 

This results in a solid handle as opposed to a hollow handle.  This is particularly important as there is often damage to the handles caused by excess heat.  With a hollow handle it is possible to puncture the outer plastic and damage the sensor irreparably. 

## � **WATERPROOF HANDLE** 

Due to the total encapsulation method used, all TME probe handles are completely waterproof. 

## � **TOUGH POLYURETHANE CABLE** 

- Polyurethane cables are used in place of the standard polyurethane for the following reasons :- 

- Greater retractability 

- Enhanced memory of it’s curl 

- Non–Toxic 

- Greater mechanical strength for durability 

- 12 X 0.2mm wires used internally for greater strength. 

- PTFE inner insulation for strength and retractability. 

## � **HIGH ACCURACY THERMOCOUPLE MATERIAL THROUGHOUT** 

Type ‘K’ Thermocouple : Class I     (±01.5°C ±0.25%) 

## � **POLYPROPYLENE  HANDLES** 

Polypropylene is an extremely tough and durable material, commonly used for milk crates, it has good low temperature performance and a relatively high melt temperature.  It performs exceptionally well under chemical attack. 

## � **WIDE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SPECIFICATION** � **TIME RESPONSE** _**(96% of value in moving gas)**_ 

**: -30 TO 50 °C : 0.1 Secs** 

� **MEASUREMENT RANGE : -100 TO 750 °C**
