Item# (PN): SS_INC_TUBES Shipping and Payment
OMEGA™ Miniature and Standard Protection Tubes are available in 316 stainless steel and Inconel 600 nickel alloy. Tubes are available either open at both ends or with one end closed. Standard length available from stock is 6 inches; however, practically any length tube is available on short delivery.
OMEGA’s protection tubes are intended for use with OMEGA’s fine or heavy gage thermocouples and ceramic insulators, as well as OMEGA’s standard thermocouples made from OMEGACLAD™ thermocouple wire. These items are shown in Section A of this catalog. Bare wire thermocouples can be insulated using OMEGATITE™ ceramic insulators as well as the insulators used in replacement elements.
OMEGA’s protection tubes can be conveniently secured into pipes, vessels, and chambers by using OMEGALOK™ compression fittings.
Complete informations can be found in the spec sheet (PDF), see the "Download" section.
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.
