Magnet Thermocouples IEC
Magnet thermocouples are specialised temperature sensors used in environments where traditional thermocouples face challenges.
The use of magnets also facilitates easier installation and positioning, improving the versatility and reliability of temperature monitoring systems.
Magnet thermocouples offer an innovative solution for demanding temperature measurement requirements.
Surface Temperature Measurement
Although thermocouple assemblies are primarily tip sensing devices, the use of protection tubes (sheaths) renders surface sensing impractical.
Physically, the probe does not lend itself to surface presentation and stem conduction would cause reading errors. If a thermocouple is to be used reliably for surface sensing, it must be in either exposed, welded junction form with very small thermal mass or be housed in a construction which permits true surface contact whilst attaching to the surface.
Locating a thermocouple on a surface can be achieved in various ways including the use of an adhesive patch, a washer and stud, or a magnet for ferrous metals and pipe clips.
