Thermocouple Wire

Accessories

Our quality parts and wire are made for industrial application and can complete your heater system installation.  Accessories include Thermocouple Parts and Accessories, Air Heater Accessories, Infrared Heater Accessories, and Heater Hook-up Accessories.

Thermocouple Parts and Accessories     ( link to Thermocouples )

Thermocouple and  Extension Wire - comes in two standard grades - thermocouple grade and extension grade (also a special limits tolerance available which has less variation than the thermocouple grade).  For a given type, thermocouple grade has less variance at the junction point than does extension grade.  Since thermocouple grade is used to make the actual thermocouple, the choice of insulation and protection is broader.   Extension grade tends to be for long runs outside of the process - where mechanical protection and heat resistance are less important.  (Thermocouple and Extension wire Specifications)

  
Thermocouple Jacks and Plugs - come in two basic sizes - standard and mini.  These plugs and jacks are compensated to prevent generating additional voltage.  Plugs and jacks should match the type of thermocouple and wire being used.

Jacks come in different configurations: individually, in panel mounts (both plastic and metal) and in multi-jack arrangements.  


Bayonet Fittings - are used to provide a permanent mounting for quick removal of thermocouples.  Threads can be English or Metric, and are straight or tapered.  For industrial applications 1/8th NPT is the most common thread in the US.  Standard English and Metric fittings are available.   


Compression Fittings - are commonly used when installing a thermocouple that has a tube containing the sensor.  The compression fitting allows the thermocouple to be held in a fixed position.  Compression fittings are available in either brass or stainless steel, and come in different thread and opening configurations.


Thermowells - allow thermocouples or RTDs to be changed without opening the vessel (applications where vessels are under pressure or cannot be drained) .  Standard, flanged, and Sanitary thermowells are available in different alloys and dimensions.  The thermowell needed depends on the application.  

 

Air Heater Accessories

Nozzles for Air Heaters -  Heated air needs to be properly applied for best results.  We keep several styles of nozzles and flairs in stock.  Applications for hot air are numerous - flares and nozzles can be made to your specifications.  


Blowers - for high flow / low pressure hot air applications.  Regenerative and Variable Flow blowers are available in different pressure and flow combinations.  The nature of the application and size and style of the heater will determine the blower specifications.

 

Infrared Heater Accessories

Infrared Reflectors - for standard ceramic infrared heaters.  Made to order reflectors for multiple sets of reflectors.  Replacement reflectors for URAD or RAD fixtures are also available.  

  
Infrared Heater Housings - extruded housings for ceramic heaters and URAD and RAD style heaters.
