Thermocouple connection heads

A vast Selection of thermocouple heads are available to meet basic to complicated operational requirements, It is available in a variety of materials and certifications from General purpose to explosion proof with multi-certifications Select from Aluminum , S.S.316, S.S.304 single, dual to multi FM/CSA/ATEX/ IECEx Certifications available

The Thermocouple Connection Head is an important component in the construction of an accurate thermocouple system. The head is used to house the thermocouple terminal block which connects the thermocouple element to the extension wire. The thermocouple connection heads function is to protect the electrical connections from contamination from the elements and maintain a constant temperature surrounding all internal connections.

No chain is stronger than its weakest link

Likewise no system is explosion proof if it contains non-explosion proof components

Instrument engineers are responsible for providing safe and appropriate instrumentation. To declare a system safe, simply because a single component is approved, is dangerous in more ways than one. Two important factors should be considered whenever a job involves electrical equipment in a hazardous location: Safety. Is the equipment specified truly safe to use in the ...

Explosion Proof?

Installing a temperature sensor in a hazardous location requires more than an approved explosion proof connection head. To meet the safety requirements of FM, you must consider the complete system: including the sensor, the thermowell (if required and used) and the connection head.

Each component in the system must meet the code. For example, many thermowells are supplied with 1/2-14 NPSM threads for the sensor connection. FM dictates that to meet the requirements for explosion proof, a tapered thread is required. Most sensors are supplied with a 1/2-14 NPT thread; however, FM also specifies a minimum thread engagement between the sensor and the co...
