The LM6000 Series exhaust gas thermocouple is a Type K sensor designed for ground-based power generation turbines, offering interchangeable replacement for OEM units with state-of-the-art materials for mechanical strength and oxidation resistance. It features a hermetic termination head with Type K studs to prevent cable cross-wiring and an over sheath designed for proper fit without vibration-prone shims. The sensor operates within -20°F to +800°F (-29°C to +426°C) at the termination head and -20°F to +392°F (-29°C to +200°C) at the mating cable, with 100% humidity tolerance. Calibration accuracy is ±0.4% (special limits of error), with insulation resistance of 1×10⁸ ohms at 500VDC and dielectric strength rated for 300VAC with ≤5mA leakage. A helium leak rate of 1×10⁻⁶ scc/sec confirms hermetic sealing.
Conax Technologies has introduced a cost-effective solution for LM6000 exhaust gas temperature measurement applications. Conax has a proven history of manufacturing reliable temperature sensors for large frame gas turbines and aeroderivative engines and now offers an aftermarket equivalent for LM engines. The Conax LM6000 T4.8 exhaust gas sensors are engineered from state-of-the-art materials that are fully interchangeable with OEM products and offer excellent mechanical strength and superior oxidation creep resistance. The Conax solution is available at a competitive price point for all LM ground-based turbines.
