There is no terminal compartment, no electronics and no housing – the sensor is inserted into a bore, a compression fitting or a flange. The protective tube is made of \u003cstrong\u003e1.4571\u003c\/strong\u003e (316Ti) and is approved for up to \u003cstrong\u003e600 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, with \u003cstrong\u003eØ 4, 5 or 6 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e and a wall thickness of \u003cstrong\u003e0.25 … 1 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e; the nominal length is between \u003cstrong\u003e30 and 70 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, up to \u003cstrong\u003e2000 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e on request. The protection class is \u003cstrong\u003eIP 65 up to 250 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe transition to the cable is made with a hexagonal crimp, with a ring crimp available on request; a shrink sleeve serves as bend protection, optionally a spring. Five cable constructions from PVC to glass silk are available, standard \u003cstrong\u003e2 m\u003c\/strong\u003e long. The response time for 6×0.5 mm is \u003cstrong\u003et90 30.9 s\u003c\/strong\u003e, and for 6×1 mm is \u003cstrong\u003et90 22.1 s\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measuring element is a thermocouple \u003cstrong\u003eType J (Fe-CuNi)\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eType K (NiCr-Ni)\u003c\/strong\u003e, single or double, without insulating material. The application range for Type J is from \u003cstrong\u003e-200 … +700 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e and for Type K from \u003cstrong\u003e-200 … +1000 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e. The limit deviation follows \u003cstrong\u003eDIN EN 60584-2 Class 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003e±1.5 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e in the range -40 … 375 °C and \u003cstrong\u003e±0.004|t|\u003c\/strong\u003e above. The \u003cstrong\u003ethermoelectric voltage is immediately available\u003c\/strong\u003e at the output, at open ends of 70 mm or at a TE plug; a transmitter is not documented. For insulation, the manufacturer only specifies the test voltage \u003cstrong\u003e500 VDC\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note before ordering:\u003c\/strong\u003e The application range is determined by the cable, not by the sensor – PVC withstands \u003cstrong\u003e-5 … +70 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, silicone -45 … +180 °C, PTFE -75 … +250 °C and glass silk \u003cstrong\u003e-60 … +550 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e; a Type K up to +1000 °C is useless with a PVC cable. The ambient temperature is not the medium temperature, and for a cable sensor, the cable is in the ambient. IP 65 does not apply to the version with shield braiding. The accuracy table extends further than the application range: Type J is specified up to 750 °C there, but in the application range up to 700 °C. A terminal assignment is not documented – the polarity must be measured before connecting. Weight, system pressure, CE mark and explosion protection are not documented. Both versions bear the product identification \u003cstrong\u003eKT\u003c\/strong\u003e; they are distinguished solely by the thermocouple type: \u003cstrong\u003e0 … 3\u003c\/strong\u003e is the TE-K1, 4 … 7 is the TE-K1G. The version with GL type approval is the \u003cstrong\u003eTCMB\u003c\/strong\u003e (TE-K1G).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvantages at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThermocouple Type J or Type K, application range up to +1000 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLimit deviation according to DIN EN 60584-2 Class 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eProtective tube 1.4571 (316Ti), Ø 4, 5 or 6 mm, up to 600 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eNominal length 30 … 70 mm, up to 2000 mm on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFive cable constructions from PVC to glass silk, -5 … +550 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGL version available as TCMB (TE-K1G)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"octogon GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57356926746950,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/5558\/6374\/files\/TCMA_produkt_4b27e6f5-e566-4848-b323-4714ca20567a.webp?v=1789243659","url":"https:\/\/octogon-sensors.com\/en\/products\/tcma-thermoelement-kabelfuhler-te-k1","provider":"octogon GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
