OMEGA Unsheathed Fine Gage Thermocouples
OMEGA® IRCO, COCO,OPON,CHAL, CHCO,P13R,P10R,P30R fine gage thermocouples are used whenever fast, accurate temperature measurements are required. The fine wire diameters enable accurate temperature measurements without disturbing the base temperature of the body, in which the installation is made, by keeping heat transfer via the leads to a minimum. Also, the fine junction permits accurate “pin-pointing” of the measured values. They are available in wire sized ranging from 0.0005" to 0.032" in diameter. All fine gage thermocouples are made from carefully selected materials. To insure consistent thermoelectric properties, each package contains thermocouples made from matched pairs of wire within the same lot number. When specified, several packages of thermocouples made from the same lot number can be supplied at no extra charge.
Response Time
While thermocouple response is a function of medium of submersion, wire diameter, alloy type and temperature level, it is possible to use Table 2 as a guide for comparing the various wire size thermocouples.
