hermocouples & hermoresistances hermocouples emperature probes are basically two wires with particular thermoelectric features, electrically insulated from each other and from the external protection body. his type of temperature gauge is very reliable and quickly responding. Depending on their various construction features, they are individually optimized to fully fit in a great number of industrial applications. he most significant input data needed to design a temperature probe are operative temperature range and working conditions. MgO Insulation hermocouples MgO-insulated thermocouples are made of two or more wires, inside a highly compacted MgO insulation powder. Various materials can be used for the external metallic body, according to the specific working conditions. MgOinsulated thermocouples are manufactured and tested according to ASM E608, and comply to ANSI MC 96.1 or DIN 43710 standards. Conventional Insulation hermocouples he thermocouple leads are inserted in ceramic insulators, that are housed, together with alumina powder, in protective bodies to ANSI/DIN specifications. he main application of these temperature gauges is when no vibrations, mechanical stresses or pressure loads are applied. hermocouple Junction ypes here are 3 types of wire junction in thermocouples. he type shall be chosen according to the characteristics of the application. he below comparison chart might help. E Symbol E ype EXPOSED JNCION RONDED JNCION NRONDED JNCION Response ime In Corrosive Environments With Vibrations Very short Not good Not good Short ood Not good Longer Very good Very good Other Features Shall be handled carefully to avoid damage to the junction. Very good with high pressures (up to 3500 g/cm², or 350 MPa). Very good whenever parasitic emf could affect accurate measurement. hermocouples, PDF-CR-011-E-1/10
hermocouple ypes hermocouples are supplied in various types, depending on the materials of wires, according to ANSI MC96.1, DIN 43710 or other regulations. he different types have different physical and electrical characteristics, making each of them fit for a specific type of application. ypes are defined by a letter. While ordering a thermocouple, the standard of reference (typically ANSI, DIN or IEC) shall be specified.

Platinum-wired thermoresistances have a highly linear characteristic, which makes them fit in the temperature range -220 C to 850 C. Less precise thermoresistances are made of Nickel. heir resistance can drift in time, their characteristic is less linear and range is limited to: -60 C to +180 C. he number of wires can increase accuracy in measurement. MgO Insulation hermoresistances Housing bodies are in Nickel or AISI 304 stainless steel, though AISI 310, AISI 316 or PVC-enamelled bodies are also available for highly corrosive environments. Conventional Insulation hermoresistances Conventional insulation thermoresistances are manufactured to IEC or DIN specifications, consisting in a platinum or nickel wire coiled on a ceramic or glass insulating core. hermocouples, PDF-CR-011-E-2/10
