PMC Thermocouple
ISO9001:2000

 

    
   

     
PRODUCT CODE: CF/CF

Our customers have come to expect only the highest quality products from PMC A Division of R-SCC.

This construction was developed to operate in extreme applications to withstand continuous temperatures as high as 2200°F (1204°C). Ceramaflex® is being used under conditions where beaded ceramic or sheathed thermocouples
previously were necessary. Because the insulation retains it’s overall product integrity at these elevated temperatures, it increase serviceability while reducing replacement and maintenance cost.

Ceramaflex is cost effective over traditional thermocouples because long lengths of sheathed thermocouples create problems in handling as well as shipping, and beaded thermocouples are labor intensive.

Ceramaflex contains the single conductors insulated with an aluminaboric-silica fiber braid. The singles are laid parallel
and jacketed with the same material. Ceramaflex is flexible, and offers good abrasion and chemical resistance. The insulation contains no residual acids or chlorides to leach out and cause etching of the wires.

You will find our qualified sales and engineering staff eager to assist in selecting a design to meet the requirements of your specific application. Variations of this construction are available upon request, including protective metal coverings for improved abrasion resistance.

NOTE: Percent limits apply directly to temperature in °C units, but for °F equivalents are applied to the numbers of °F above or below the ice point (+32°F).
(i.e. Limit (°F) = (Temp. °F-32°F) x Percentage)
Thermocouple wire cannot be expected to meet the limits of error at temperatures below the ice point unless specified at time of purchase.
