## **KS17 BOW SURFACE PROBE TYPE ‘K’** 

## **- BOW SURFACE PROBE Type ‘K’** 

## Description 

This probe uses the straight handle for fine control. The probe is designed for measurement of rotating surfaces or uneven surfaces 

## Construction 

A sprung loaded sensing tip is mounted behind a Teflon coated strip allowing the tip to conform to uneven or moving surfaces. The probe is supplied with 2M curly polyurethane cable with moulded connector. 

## **Sensor Features** 

##  **HANDLE 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** 

**: -50 TO 50 °C** 

 **TIME RESPONSE** _**(96% of value on clean metal)**_ **: 10 Secs** 

- **MEASUREMENT RANGE** 

**: -50 TO 200 °C**
