PT100 NEEDLE PROBE

Description

This probe uses the bulbous handle to enable the sensor tip to be pushed into a semi-solid product with

maximum ease of use.

Construction

Needle Probe 3.3mm Diameter by 100mm Long : Stainless Steel 316 (Food Grade)

2M curly polyurethane cable to tails. Complete waterproof assembly.

Please note that this probe is not supplied with a connection plug for ease of hardwiring. Our PT100 probes

can be purchased with 4-way plug as standard, other connection plugs available if required.

4-way PRT plug order code: PRTPLUG

Sensor Features



TOTAL ENCAPSULATION TECHNIQUE FOR MAXIMUM STRENGTH AND DURABILITY.

This results in a solid handle as opposed to a hollow handle. This is particularly important as there is

often damage to the handles caused by excess heat. With a hollow handle it is possible to puncture

the outer plastic and damage the sensor irreparably.



WATERPROOF HANDLE

Due to the total encapsulation method used, all TME probe handles are completely waterproof.



TOUGH POLYURETHANE CABLE



Polyurethane cables are used in place of the standard PVC for the following reasons :-



Greater retractability



Enhanced memory of it’s curl



Non–Toxic



Greater mechanical strength for durability



12 X 0.2mm wires used internally for greater strength.



PTFE inner insulation for strength and retractability.



HIGH ACCURACY THERMOCOUPLE MATERIAL THROUGHOUT

PT100 Sensor

: Class A

(±0.15°C ±0.2%) (BS1904 Class A)



POLYPROPYLENE HANDLES

Polypropylene is an extremely tough and durable material, commonly used for milk crates, it has good

low temperature performance and a relatively high melt temperature. It performs exceptionally well

under chemical attack.
