Item# (PN): PST_CLAD_STRIP Shipping and Payment
Sheath Diameter vs. Rotational Speed
0.25 to 0.79 mm [0.010 to 0.032"] hand
1 to 3.17 mm [0.040 to 0.125"] hand to 300 rpm
4.75 to 6.25 mm [0.185 to 0.250"] 150 to 300 rpm
Where the stripping action is being conducted on semi-production or production quantities, the power adapted tool is recommended.
Method 1 (sizes 1 mm [0.040"] and larger)
1. Secure the sheath in a vice, collet, or other holding fixture.
2. Locate the tool over the end of the sheath and apply a slight pressure on the tool while turning it by hand or machine, rotating in a clockwise direction, as though sharpening a pencil.
3. After the cut has started, the tool will self-feed until it runs against the holding fixture.
4. Slip the tool off over the exposed wires.
Method 2 (sizes 0.79 mm [0.032"] and smaller)
1. Firmly grip the sheath a small distance from the end [about 0.25 mm (1⁄4")] with a pair of flat jaw pliers or any other holder which will firmly grip without crushing the sheath.
2. Grab the adaptor by hand, feed the sheath into the opening and slowly rotate the stripper while applying slight pressure, as though sharpening a pencil.
3. The tool will self-feed until it runs against the holding fixture.
4. Slip the tool off over the exposed wire.

RTD Pt100 vs Thermocouple
It is not practical to compare RTDs (Pt100 and others) and thermocouples generally. However, if we compare their performance in terms of specific criteria, we can see which is best suited for specific applications. Thermocouples are best for working at high temperatures. New manufacturing techniques have improved the measurement range of RTD probes, but more than 90% of RTDs are designed for temperatures below 400°C.
In contrast, some thermocouples can be used at up to 2500°C. Thermocouples are generally cheaper than RTDs...
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...
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.
What is a Type K Thermocouple?
Thermocouple Wire / How it Works?
The thermocouple wire or cable is used to manufacture thermocouple probes in order to sense temperature using the point of cold junction compensation (cjc end). On the other side, as it has been explain in this other article, a thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature, that consists of two dissimilar metals that are joined together at the sensing end.
Different thermocouple types (e.g. J or K type thermocouple wire) use different mixtures of metals in the cable. At the cjc end, the millivolt value provided by the thermocouple represents the difference in temperature of the sensing end as compared to the cjc end (also called the reference end)...
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...
