Help with Thermistor Temperature Probes specifications:
Sensed Temperature Range
Back to Top
|
| ||
| Sensed Temperature | Sensed temperature is the temperature range for which the device is rated for sensing. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

Probe Configuration
Back to Top
|
|
| ||
| Probe Configuration | There are many different probe configurations. Suppliers often designate probes by application or intended use. Custom probes are also available. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Straight Probe | Straight probes measure stationary surface temperatures and can be used in wells. | ||
| Penetration (Needle) Probe | Penetration probes or needle probes are used to measure internal temperatures. | ||
| Flexible Probe | Flexible probes can be manipulated for various temperature measurements. | ||
| Drop Probe | Drop probes are designed for well or underwater temperature measurements. | ||
| Curved Probe | Curved probes are used to measure temperatures on pipes or other curved surfaces. | ||
| Roller or Moving Probe | Roller probes or moving probes measure temperatures on moving surfaces. | ||
| Air Probe | Air probes are designed for air-flow temperature measurements. | ||
| Angled Probe | Angled probes are used for temperature measurement applications inside pipes and angled spaces. | ||
| Surface | Surface probes attach to skin or a flat surface. They are also known as banjo, patch, or bolt-on probes. | ||
| Clamp or Strap Sensor | Clamp probes or strap sensor probes clamp or wrap around the surface to be monitored. | ||
| Flat/Ribbon | Flat probes or ribbon probes are temperature sensors with a flexible membrane. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or specialized probe configurations. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

|
| ||
| Diameter or Width Range | Depending on the probe configuration, this dimension is either the diameter or width of the probe, or the diameter of the object being monitored. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Sensitive Length | Depending on the probe configuration, this dimension is either the height or length of the temperature-sensitive part of the probe. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| |||
| Process Connection | There are many ways to connect a probe to a monitored process. This section describes standard connection methods, but is not an exhaustive list. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| None or Hand held | Probes do not include a process connection. Typically, these devices are hand held probes. | ||
| Bayonet | Bayonet fittings consist of a socket with J-shaped slots on opposite sides. A bayonet base or coupling is inserted against a spring and rotated until its pins are firmly seated. | ||
| Threaded Fitting | Threaded fittings are continuous helical ribs, like on a pipe. Styles include national pipe thread (NPT), imperial or English, and metric. | ||
| Compression | Compression fittings have a tapered sleeve and are used mainly with tube fittings. | ||
| Braze, Weld or Solder | Braze, weld, or solder fittings are designed to be brazed, welded, or soldered into place. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or specialized process connections. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
| |||
| Sensor Termination Type | There are various methods for probe terminations. Sensor termination type is an important parameter when trying to match a probe with an instrument, transmitter or other signal conditioning equipment. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Bare or Insulated Lead Wires | Devices use bare or insulated lead wires. | ||
| Metal Braided Leads | Devices use metal braided leads. | ||
| Armor Leads | Devices use armor leads. | ||
| Flexible Conduit Leads | Devices use flexible conduit leads. | ||
| Terminal Block | Devices use terminal blocks. | ||
| Conduit Connector | Devices use conduit connectors. | ||
| Screw Tabs or Lugs | Devices use screw tabs or lugs. | ||
| Integral Connection Head (Thermohead) | Devices use integral connection heads (thermoheads). | ||
| Plug or Quick Connect | Devices use plugs or quick-connects. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or specialized sensor termination type. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

|
| ||
| Probe Features | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Available as an Assembly | Devices are complete or partial assemblies with a thermowell, fittings, and transmitter or thermohead. | ||
| Cuttable | Probes can be cut to specific lengths. | ||
| Spring Loaded | Spring loading ensures proper contact with the tip of the thermowell or the surface to monitor. | ||
| Tip Sensitive | With tip-sensitive probes, only the tip of the probe is temperature-sensitive. | ||
| Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||
