Product Overview
OMEGA™ thermocouples are precise temperature measuring elements made of the highest grade materials available. They are carefully assembled according to the highest standards set by the industry. OMEGA’s thermocouples are checked against standard temperature-millivolt curves to assure calibration accuracy and must match accepted performance curves which set the standard ANSI accuracy limits.

Are these thermocouples made of operation at high temp and high vacuum simultaneously? I operate an accelerator beam line and we are having issues with sublimation of thermocouple wires in high vacuum.
Hi Cecchini,
Thank you for the inquiry. Type K has limited use in vacuum/reducing environments. Type N will give better performance.
Best regards
OMEGA

Using the 4003 temperature controller manual explain steps taken to configure it for type k thermocouple
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes it does include the programming information.

Hello, I would like to measure the cooling rate of a casting (the thermocouple will be in contact with the molten material and will be keep it there during the solidification process). Could you recommend a thermocouple to perform this task?
You may be able to use a sheathed Thermocouple rated in temperature above the melting point of your casting material. Ideally using non-contact IR sensors would be the best approach Omega would suggest. Send an email to temp@dwyeromega.com to have questions answered regarding your application.
