KS01 SURFACE (BAND) PROBE TYPE `K'
RIBBON SURFACE PROBE - Type `K'
Description
This probe uses the straight handle for fine control. The probe is designed for the measurement of
surface temperatures giving a fast response time.
Construction
Ribbon band sensor with thermocouple sensor attached and draught shield : 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
NonToxic
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 (01.5C 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 on clean metal) : 0.1 Secs
MEASUREMENT RANGE : -200 TO 300 C (higher for non-
continuous measurement)
