Features:

 

BT Thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature​.

​

• Two common constructions for these:

  • Mineral Insulated (MI)​

    • used a highly compacted stainless sheath with solid conductors encased in magnesium oxide insulation.​

    • This offers wider range of diameters, allows for sensors to be bent in the field for temperature up to 2200°F.

  • Tube & Wire

    • used an empty stainless tube with a wire inside which has welded tip incorporating the wire junction. This typically used up to 900°F.​​

​

• RTD's Resistance Temperature Detectors:

  • Sensors that contain a resistor that changes resistance value as it's temperature changes.

  • More accurate

  • typically used for temperature sensitive and laboratory applications.

​

• Thermocouple Applications: ​

  • Used as the temperature sensors in thermostats in offices, homes, offices & businesses.

  • Used in industries for monitoring temperatures of metals in iron, aluminum, and metal.

  • Used in the food industry for cryogenic and Low-temperature applications.

  • Used as heat pumps for performing thermoelectric cooling.

  • Used to test temperature in chemical plants, petroleum plants.

  • Used in gas machines for detecting the pilot flame.
