Super OMEGACLAD XL probe was exposed to temperature of 1000C for period of two months. ** Approx. response timeungrounded in water ** Long Life, Low Maintenance If your application operates at the punishing temperature of nearly 1204C (2200F), changing out failed thermocouples costs money in excessive maintenance, slows or cuts production, and can cause inconsistent product quality. In head-to-head tests, Super OMEGACLAD XL thermocouple probes consistently post 1204C (2200F) replace 17 of theirs the best performance results. Our innovative in 52 days or just one of ours temperature sensors last upwards of 10 times In life-cycle lab testing, the OMEGACLAD XL sheathed, 3 mm (0.125 ) Type K Probe operated or longer when compared to competitors continuously for 52 days at 1204C (2200F) while Inconel 600 sheathed probes of equal or competitors 3 mm (0.125 ) Inconel 600 sheathed, larger diameters.
