Richards Thermocouple and Temperature Sensor Catalog 16

General Information -

The

STP-01K

Type K series surface temperature thermocouple probe is used in applications where an instant sur-

face temperature reading is required on a metal object. There is no need to wait for a thermocouple element junction to heat up

to temperature. The

STP-01K

will give you an instantaneous accurate surface temperature reading the moment the two

spring loaded prongs touch the metal object in question. Note that the object must be clean and uncoated in order for the sen-

sor to function. The heavy duty handle is made of 304 stainless and the heavy duty grip is made of aluminum. The elements

are of Special Limits of Error, and the leads are made with 304 stainless steel armored cable. A solid pin male plug is standard

but a Digital Instrument (

DI100K

) may be attached (

STP-01K-DI100

Applications -

The

STP-01K

can be used in many applications. Our sensors are frequently used for measurement of metal billet

temperatures. As the billets are extruded, they move on a conveyor belt to a forging operation. The operator only has seconds

to take a temperature reading prior to forging. The

STP-01K

is the perfect sensor. Just touch the surface with the two

prongs. Instant accurate readings can be obtained with Richards quality and durability.

Note:

If you would like to order a Type J or N assembly, substitute the “

” in the part number shown on this page with a J

or N. Custom length leads and termination styles can also be specified - consult our sales department.
