Note: These M12 Thermocouple Sensors Require an M12 Thermocouple Extension Cable to Connect the Sensor To Your
Instrumentation. A Partial List Of Our M12 Thermocouple Extension Cables is Included in the Ordering Table Below.
The Series M12-TC-SL thermocouple has been designed to provide our customers with a simple way of adapting our M12 thermocouple sensors for use in thermowells.
The addition of a spring loading feature to the sensor insures that you get the proper contact between the sensor and the thermowell every time. To determine
the length needed, simply measure the depth of the sensor bore in the thermowell from the end of the thermowell to the bottom of the bore (shown
as the "Thermowell Stem Length" in the sketch below). Simply specify this length in the part number.
These M12 thermocouple sensors consist of three parts, the sensor probe with integral M12 connector, a hex nut with a 1/2NPT mounting thread, and a self-gripping
adjustable spring. The M12 connector provides a convenient, reliable way to connect the sensor to your instrument using an M12 extension or patch cable.
The M12-TC-SL thermocouple assembly is designed to fit into a thermowell with a stem length equal to that specified in the model number. Simply
slide the sensor assembly into the thermowell until bottomed and then compress the spring while making the 1/2NPT connection. Thread sealant tape or
thread compound may be used on the 1/2NPT mounting thread to insure easy removal at a later time. The position of the self-gripping spring can be
adjusted so that the sensor can
be used in a shorter thermowell. Simply twist the spring while sliding it along the probe stem until the needed position is reached.
The M12-TC-SL can also be used as a back-up sensor for a variety of applications. The spring loading feature can be adjusted to fit a variety
of thermowells. The spring loading fitting can be removed altogether and replaced with a compression type fitting if a fixed position is needed.
This flexibility in mounting options, as well as the simplified and robust connection provided by the M12 connector, makes the M12-TC-SL the perfect solution
for a wide variety of applications.
When ordering your M12-TC-SL sensor, don't forget your thermocouple extension cable. Omega offers these thermocouple extension cables
in over molded Silicone cables, as well as customized PVC and PFA insulated cables with optional stainless steel braid or hose for improved mechanical
protection. All of Omega's wide selection of thermcouple connectors are available for connecting to your thermocouple instrumentation.
Specifications:
Metal Parts: 304 Stainless Steel Sheath and Housing.
Connector: 4-Pin "A"-Coded M12 Plug Connector with Thermocouple Compensated Pins.
Temperature Ranges: -210 to 721°C (Type J), -270 to 899°C (Type K), -270 to 371°C (Type T) or -270 to 899 °C (Type E), Except for the Connector Which is 85°C Max. Temperaturte ranges shown are for the measurement end of the sensor only, thermowell selection will impact final temperature range of assembly.
† All dollar amounts on this site are shown in US currency.
Note:
For dual element sensors, add “-DUAL” to the end of the model number and multiply price by 1.75.
For probe lengths above 24" change length in model number to required length in inches (25.50" = 2550) and add $0.65 per inch to the 24" price.
For lengths between the standard lengths change the stem length to that needed and use the next longer price.
Ordering Example: (1) M12JSS-U-0400-SL Type J ungrounded thermocouple with 304SS sheath and M12 connection, spring loads into thermowell with 4" stem length , $63.00, plus (1) M12KSS-U-1200-SL Type K ungrounded thermocouple with 304SS sheath and M12 connection, spring loads into thermowell with a 12" stem length , $68.00, $63.00 + 68.00 = $131.00
