Default Re: Thermocoupler

The thermocouple itself is just a small piece of glass with a bimetal strip and
a set of wires comming from the different metals. This then in pushed into a stainless steel tube and the tube is inserted into a hole drilled into a brick.

To replace the TC you just withdraw the packing and replace the bimetal unit.
then repack making sure you do not have a short. Leave the tube undisturbed.

The wire set that is attached to the unit must be used as is. It is calibrated that way. Specify the wire length when you order the TCs.
