    ]]>     Conax Technologies wirewound platinum RTD assemblies feature a wirewound element encased in either a stainless steel or Inconel 600 sheath. The RTD’s nickel leadwires are supported and insulated throughout the sheath with densely compacted high-purity magnesium oxide. This allows the sensor to be bent like a thermocouple except in the tip portion that contains the element.

    Thin film platinum element assemblies (M-style) use a powder-filled tubewell construction with bare leadwire strung through pre-formed MgO insulators and attached directly to the element. This assembly is inserted into a closed-end tubewell, which is then filled with Al2O3 powder and capped with potting compound.

    Copper and nickel element assemblies (E-style) feature a similar tubewell construction, with PTFE(r)-insulated lead wires brazed to the element. The tubewell is then filled with Al2O3 powder and capped with potting compound. In both cases, the minimum active length is 3″ and the assemblies should not be bent.

    RTD assemblies can be provided with a wide variety of termination styles and mounting fittings to meet the needs of your application. Conax Technologies also offers numerous sensor tolerances, sheath diameters and sheath materials. This section outlines the key choices needed to specify the correct Conax Technologies part description for your needs. In each case, you will be asked to select the:

    • Sensor element to meet your operating conditions and specifications
    • Sensor tolerance
    • Lead configuration corresponding to the number of leads your application requires
    • Sheath material and size
    • Termination style
    • Optional mounting configuration
    • Sheath length

    ]]>     Conax Buffalo High Temperature Thermocouples are specifically designed for durability and reliability in high temperature applications to 4200° F (2315° C). Such applications generally involve oxidizing, reducing, inert gas or contamination atmospheres that challenge the life of the thermocouple. Conax brings more than 50 years of experience in the design and manufacture of temperature sensing devices to the selection of appropriate materials and designs to maximize the life and reliability of thermocouples in these environments. Conax custom designs thermocouples with special characteristics of materials used in the elements, sheaths and insulations, as well as integrating with standard configurations. For further assistance in determining the appropriate temperature sensing assembly for your application or for custom needs.

    • Terminal Head Assembly – Assemblies with Head & Direct Mount

      Conax Buffalo provides high temperature assemblies with T5, T8, T11 and T12 termination heads in aluminum, stainless steel or cast iron to meet application needs. T5 termination heads meet NEMA 4 requirements providing protection against windblown dust and rain, splashing water, hose-directed water and external ice formation. (See page 11 for details on termination heads.) The sheath is affixed to the terminal head using a Conax Buffalo packing gland Type PG4 with lava sealant. Terminal heads with terminal blocks and gasket seal are rated to 275° F (135° C).

    • Plug & Jack Assembly – (PJFC-Plug) Termination & Support Tube

      An adjustable support tube offers flexibility for immersion adjustment while protecting the sheath from potential damage during installation. The rigid, thick wall offers additional support when penetrating the vessel/furnace wall. Standard polarized plug and jack termination for use with all calibration types. Plug and jack assemblies are made from molded glass filled thermoset compounds and are designed to operate in temperatures to 300° F (150° C). Polarity identification marks are molded in the bodies for installation assistance.

    • T3/T4 Assembly – Leadwire Termination and Support Tube

      This exclusive Conax Buffalo design provides a practically unbreakable connection between the leadwire and probe lead. The T3 epoxy-filled transition is supplied with Teflon-insulated extension wire as standard; silicone-impregnated fiberglass insulation is also available. Standard extension end leads are 24″ long (longer leads available on request). When the progressive description specifies 24 gauge probe wire, 20 gauge extension wire is standard. When the progressive description specifies 30 gauge probe wire, 24 gauge extension wire is standard. T4 termination provides a stainless steel overbraid for maximum flexibility and abrasion resistance. Available in all sheath materials and wire types. Both termination types function to 300° F (150° C) continuous temperature.
