Thermocouples – improved design

Thermocouple probes are an essential part of a Datapaq Oven Tracker system. They are placed at critical points on the product to give a clear profile of the temperature throughout the process.

All Datapaq probes conform to the highest standards (ANSI MC 96.1 Special Limits of Error) and provide the most accurate data possible. Improved probe cables make them durable and flexible. The quad-wrapped, 10 strand 36 AWG (0.125mm), PTFE and metal braid coated probe cables last significantly longer than previous designs.

The probe is further improved by a stronger 'crimped' plug/cable attachment and a circular cable cross section to reduce kinking and twisting. The color of the cable conforms to the IEC584 color standard for Type K thermocouples - green.

No one makes a more robust probe.

‘MicroMag’... goes where no probe has gone before

MicroMag, Datapaqs latest innovation in surface and air magnetic thermocouples, makes it even easier to collate and analyse temperature profile data than ever before.

With a 17mm (0.7”) state of the art Samarium Cobalt magnet, low thermal mass and an easy to handle aluminum knob, the MicroMag can be quickly and efficiently attached to ferrous substrates. Despite its compact size, the magnet strength guarantees secure attachment at the highest temperatures experienced within the paint and powder coating industry.
