FAQ
Q: Can it be used in reducing atmospheres?
A: It is recommended for oxidizing and inert atmospheres. For reducing or alternating oxidizing-reducing environments, please choose our specially coated K type thermocouple (customizable).
Q: How to achieve accurate cold-end compensation?
A: Our thermocouple can be paired with a dedicated cold-end compensator or connected to a transmitter with built-in compensation function, ensuring measurement accuracy without manual correction.
Q: What is the maximum insertion depth for pipe measurement?
A: The insertion depth should be at least 8~10 times the diameter of the protection tube to ensure full contact with the measured medium. We can customize the length according to your pipe specifications.
