Minco's Embedment Thermocouples, specifically part number TC102961JG48SB0, are designed for monitoring the temperature of thrust bearings in hazardous environments. These sensors are certified for use in Zone 2, Group IIC areas and feature a temperature range of -50 to 200¬8C (-58 to 392¬8F), which reduces to 125¬8C (257¬8F) when using elastomer-filled cable options. The thermocouples come with a tin-plated copper alloy case and a factory-applied babbitt tip on select styles to minimize overheating risks when embedded in babbitt layers. Lead options include stranded copper with PTFE insulation and twisted pairs for thermocouples, with additional durability options available such as stainless steel braid and elastomer-filled configurations. The time constant is approximately 3.0 seconds in moving water, and the insulation resistance is a minimum of 10 megohms at 100 VDC. These features make the Minco Embedment Thermocouples suitable for applications requiring reliable temperature monitoring in confined spaces and harsh conditions.
Minco embedment thermocouples are physically interchangeable with Minco embedment RTDs and feature four tin plated copper alloy case styles to meet a variety of installation options, including: spring loading or potting in drilled holes and a factory applied babbitt metal tip to reduce overheating of the sensors when installed in babbitt layer. They also feature standard thermocouple wire options of PTFE thermocouple wire, PTFE thermocouple wire with a stainless steel overbraid for added durability or PTFE thermocouple wire with stainless steel braid and an overall Teflon sleeve filled with elastomer for rugged cable that prevents migration of oil along the cable.
