Mini-Hypodermic Thermocouple Probe Model HYP-0
The HYP0 Mini-Hypodermic probe with a needle diameter of only 0.2 mm(0.008") is the least likely to disturb the surrounding insertion area. Binocular microscope micromanufacturing techniques result in an extremely small type T (Copper- Constantan) thermocouple being implanted in a 33 gage, diameter, 25 mm long stainless steel hypodermic needle. The HYP0 has the fastest response of the hypodermic probes, and has a continuous temperature rating of 200°C(400°F). It has 1.5 m(5ft) long PFA coated, 36 AWG leads with an SMP-type miniature con
nector.
Thermocouple Probe Model HYP-1
OMEGA™ Hyp Research, autoclavable probe is designed to give instant readings in plants, other semi-solids and liquids. A 30 gauge x 13mm (0.5") needle provides this very fast response. The measurable temperature range is cryogenic to 200°C (400°F). This is a type . T. (Copper-Constantan) grounded-junction probe with PFA insulated extension wire and a subminiature male connector termination. The entire assembly is steam autoclavable to a temperature of 160°C (325°F).
Thermocouple Probe Model HYP-2
The HYP-2 Probes have Natural Science, Industrial and Food Processing uses. This assembly comes complete with a type . T. (Copper-Constantan) element, 1.2 m (4') PFA insulated lead wires, and uses a standard (21 gage) hypodermic thermocouple needle 38 mm (1.5") long. 1.2 m (4') lead wire is standard. Standard size male connector terminates the lead wire.
Thermocouple Probe Model HYP-3
OMEGA™ Industrial Hypodermic Probe uses a sixteen 16 gage x 38 mm (1.5") long needle and may contain J, K, T, E calibrations; they may have a grounded or ungrounded junction, and come with stainless steel overbraided extension wire. The stainless steel overbraiding adds flexibility and extends the probe life. These probes are not autoclavable. They are designed for heavy-duty service. 1.2 m (4') lead wire is standard. Maximum tip temperature is 200°C (400°F).
RTD Probe Model HYP-4
The RTD Hypodermic Probes are offered for Industrial, Natural Sciences and Food Processing use. These probes contain a 100 ohm platinum RTD (alpha= 0.00385) within a sixteen 16 gage x 38 mm (1.5") hypodermic needle, and come with 1.2 m (4') PFA insulated lead wire.

Thermocouple Sensor / What is a Thermocouple?
A thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature. This sensor consists of two dissimilar metal wires, joined at one end, and connected to a thermocouple thermometer or other thermocouple-capable device at the other end. When properly configured, thermocouples can provide temperature measurements over wide range of temperatures.
Thermocouples are known for their versatility as temperature sensors therefore commonly used on a wide range of applications...
How is Temperature Measured?
Temperature can be measured via a diverse array of sensors. All of them infer temperature by sensing some change in a physical characteristic. Six types with which the engineer is likely to come into contact are: thermocouples, resistive temperature devices (RTDs Pt100 and thermistors), infrared radiators, bimetallic devices, liquid expansion devices, and change-of-state devices.

What Are Common Applications for Thermocouples?
Thermocouples are the most widely used temperature sensors on the planet due to their combination of wide temperature capabilities, ruggedness, and low cost. Thermocouples are used in applications that range from home appliances to industrial processes, to electric power generation, to furnace monitoring and control, to food and beverage processing, to automotive sensors, to aircraft engines, to rockets, satellites and spacecraft.
When it comes to high temperatures, small size, fast response, high vibration or shock, most times you will find thermocouples providing the temperature measurements.

Common Techniques to Calibrate Thermocouples
Temperature measurement is possible through several means. We commonly use thermometers for measuring temperature. However, for precision measurements, where even a small spike in temperature requires to be recorded, we use advanced forms of measurement devices like thermocouples. Thermocouples are measurement devices that can read very slight temperature changes. Hence, they are widely used in applications where accuracy is of utmost importance.
However, like any measurement device, the efficiency of thermocouples will deteriorate overtime under constant use. At this point, the thermocouple needs recalibration...
