Thermocouples

General Applications Tube and Wire

Watlow® is a world class supplier of temperature
measurement products, with more than 90 years of
manufacturing, research and design expertise.
Companies engaged in critical process control of food
and metals rely on Watlow thermocouples. Watlow
designs and manufactures sensors to meet customers’
industrial and commercial equipment needs.
Watlow has developed an extensive line of thermocouples
to meet a broad range of sensing needs.
Performance Capabilities
• Fiberglass insulated thermocouples can reach
temperatures up to 900°F (480°C) for continuous
operation.
Features and Benefits
“Custom-tailored” standard products including:
• 32 standard sheath lengths
• Lead lengths from six to 360 inches
• Stainless steel braid or hose protection Typical Applications
• J, K, T and E calibrations • Food processing equipment
• Grounded, ungrounded and exposed junctions • De-icing
• Flat and drill point • Plating baths
• Epoxy sealed cold ends • Industrial processing
• Adjustable depths • Medical equipment
• Flexible extensions • Pipe tracing control
• Washers, nozzles and clamp bands • Industrial heat treating
• Custom diameters • Packaging equipment
• PFA coated and stainless steel sheaths • Liquid temperature measurement
• Straight, 45° bend or 90° bend • Refrigerator temperature control
• Locking bayonet caps in standard, 12 mm and 15 mm • Oven temperature control

Construction and Tolerances

Thermocouples feature flexible SERV-RITE® wire insulated
with woven fiberglass or high temperature engineered
resins. For added protection against abrasion, products
can be provided with stainless steel wire braid and flexible
armor. ASTM E230 color-coding identifies standard
catalog thermocouple types.
The addition of a metal sheath over the thermocouple
provides rigidity for accurate placement and added
protection of the sensing junction. Mounting options
include springs, ring terminals, specialized bolts, pipe
style clamps and shims.

Polyimide Bracket Style

The Polyimide thermocouple, when used with the Aluminum

aluminum bracket, is designed primarily to measure roller Bracket

Stick Polyimide thermocouple to measure roller surface

temperature without using slip rings. This type of set-up 1 in. (25 mm)
greatly reduces lag time and eliminates slip rings cost and
maintenance. It can also be used to measure conveyor
