General
Tolerance class	2

The K-thermocouple probe from manufacturer Chauvin Arnoux is a needle probe with handle, specifically designed for precise temperature measurements in industrial and laboratory applications. The device features a needle design with a stainless steel sheath, enabling robust and hygienic measurement. The probe is designed for a temperature range of 50 °C to 600 °C and offers tolerance class 2, ensuring high measurement accuracy and reliability. The response time is 12 seconds at 63 %, making it particularly suitable for applications with constant temperatures.

Applications

The probe is suitable for precise temperature measurements in various fields, particularly in industry and laboratories. The needle tip with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 13 cm enables easy and precise measurement in small or hard-to-reach areas, such as in machines, pipelines, or electronic assemblies. The integrated stainless steel sheath ensures high mechanical stability and resistance to corrosion.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The probe features an integrated handle, ensuring comfortable and safe handling, especially during extended measurement processes. The spiral connection cable increases flexibility and prevents tangling, facilitating operation. The connection is made via a compensated miniature plug, ensuring a reliable electrical connection and stabilizing signal transmission.

Technology Explained Simply

A K-thermocouple probe utilizes the Seebeck effect, in which a temperature difference between two different metals generates an electrical voltage. This voltage is measured and converted into a temperature value. Tolerance class 2 corresponds to a maximum deviation of ±2.2 °C within the measurement range, which is sufficient for many industrial applications. The response time of 12 seconds at 63 % means that the probe reaches 63 % of the final temperature value within this time, ensuring rapid stabilization of the measurement.

Compatibility and Accessories

The probe is compatible with thermometers C.A 1821, C.A 1822, TK 2000, TK 2002, as well as the data logger L642. With an adapter, it can also be used as an accessory for multimeters, increasing the versatility of the device. Use with these devices enables precise and documented temperature measurement in various application scenarios.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply inserting the needle tip into the area to be measured. The handle allows for secure guidance, while the spiral connection cable provides a flexible connection to the measuring device. No additional mounting or installation tools are required.

Operational Advantages

The probe offers high measurement accuracy, robust construction, and easy handling. The combination of stainless steel sheath, spiral connection cable, and compensated miniature plug ensures reliable and long-lasting use. Compatibility with various measuring devices increases the flexibility and application value of the probe in different working environments.

Scope of Delivery

The scope of delivery includes 1 x K-thermocouple probe (needle probe with handle) and 1 x user instructions.
