Industrial thermocouple and RTD solutions for measuring your process temperatures up to 2,315°C with a wide range of sheath materials and termination styles to suit most harsh or EX-rated environments and installations. Thermoscale film for temperature distribution measurement and ultra miniature fibre optic sensors, as well as wireless and portable solutions for data logging. To seal your temperature probes, power or instrumentation wires into your process line or chamber from vacuum up to 80,000psi, we supply compression seal fittings and feed-throughs.
Feedthroughs / Sealing Glands
Conax Technologies’ range of compression sealing glands and feedthroughs are designed to reliably seal probes or power/instrumentation wires that pass through a pressure or environmental boundary. A choice of seal and body materials are available to cover wide ranges of pressure, temperature and medium type. Glands are available for single or multiple elements and one or more insulators may be included when electrical isolation is required. Single element seals consist of a body, cap, sealant and follower, whilst multiple element seals also include a special follower and an anti-rotation pin to prevent wires/conductors from twisting and shearing.
Thermocouples
Thermocouples operate on the principle that when wires of two different materials are joined at each end and exposed to different temperatures, a voltage is produced proportional to the temperature difference, known as the thermoelectric effect. Different material combinations, identified by ISA letters like T, J, E, and K, are used for optimal output across temperature ranges. Techni Measure offers industrial thermocouples from Conax Technologies, featuring various sensor elements, sheath materials, probe constructions, and mounting styles. They also provide thermocouple wire for extensions or creating custom thermocouples, and can assist in selecting the right option for your needs.
RTD’s
RTD’s are based on the electrical resistance change within a material that is proportional to temperature. The resistance increases with increasing temperature and the most common material is Platinum. Various sheath materials, probe constructions, and lead wire output options are available, please ask for advice or details on the range available.
