MINCO Tip-Sensitive RTD & Thermcouple Bearing Probes

Tip-Sensitive Copper Tip

Overview

The probe sensing tip is constructed of copper alloy which is twenty times more conductive than stainless steel. The sensors react more quickly to changes and indicate tip temperature instead of stem temperature which increases accuracy. Minco recommends 0.250" diameter probes for use in thermowells.

Specifications

  • Temperature range

    -50 to 260°C (-58 to 500°F)

  • Case

    Minimum case length:
    Single element probes: 2.8" (71.1 mm).
    Dual element probes: 4.0" (101.6 mm).
    Maximum case length:
    48" (1220 mm), longer on special order

  • Leads

    2, 3, or 4 leadwires, stranded copper with PTFE insulation. AWG 22, except 0.188" diameter dual probes AWG 24. For 2-lead RTDs add 0.03 Ω per foot (0.05 Ω per foot for 0.188" diameter dual probes) of combined case and lead length to element tolerance. Copper (CA, CC) models must have 3 leads.

  • Time constant

    2.0 seconds typical in moving water. 3.0 seconds for dual element models

  • Pressure rating

    100 psi (6.9 bar)

  • Vibration

    Withstands 10 to 2000 Hz at 20 G’s min. per MIL-STD-202, Method 204, Test Condition D

  • Shock

    Withstands 100 G’s min. sine wave shock of 8 milliseconds duration.
