**56** ## **Industrial Thermocouple Protection Head Probe Assemblies** **Why Choose Super OMEGACLAD** > **TM Probes?** You've chosen an industrial head for your application. Why not complement it with an OMEGA Super OMEGACLAD TM XL sheathed probe? These probes can be used at high temperatures for prolonged periods with very little drift of the base metal thermocouple. Super OMEGACLAD TM XL sheathing provides excellent oxidation resistance, and can withstand exposure to combustion gases or air at temperatures up to 1335°C. Superior resistance to oxidation attack results from an internal protective high-temperature film that does not affect the stability of the thermocouple alloys. Super OMEGACLAD TM XL sheathing also provides excellent resistance to corrosion in high temperature chlorine-contaminated oxidizing environments and ammonia/nitride-rich environments at temperatures above 980°C, the temperature at which the protective film forms.

Elapsed Time - Weeks
Super OMEGACLAD TM XL’s low-drift characteristic ensures
reliability of temperature readings longer than other brands
and sheath materials. Within 15 weeks of continuous testing,Brands A and B, and an Inconel ® 600 probe, exhibited more
than 8.3°C drift. At 25 weeks, Super OMEGACLAD TM XL’s drift
was less than 2.8°C.
