## **DATA SHEET** 

## **KM02 LIGHT DUTY TYPE ‘K’ GENERAL PURPOSE PROBE** 

## **GENERAL PURPOSE PROBE - 1.5 mm Type ‘K’** 

## Description 

This probe uses the straight handle for fine control. The probe is truly general purpose and may be used for gas, liquid or applications with difficult access. 

## Construction 

Minerally Insulated Probe 1.5mm Diameter by 300mm Long : Stainless Steel 316 (Food Grade) 2M curly polyurethane cable with moulded connector. Complete waterproof assembly. 

## **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 PVC 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 (±1.5°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 : -30 TO 50 °C** 

- **TIME RESPONSE** _**(96%of value in water)**_ **: 1.0 Secs** 

- **MEASUREMENT RANGE : -200 TO 1100 °C**
