Thermo Couple Tips

Thermocouples are the most popular temperature sensors. They are cheap, interchangeable, have standard connectors and can measure a wide range of temperatures. The main limitation is accuracy, system errors of less than 1°C can be difficult to achieve.
ACE PAPER BOARD LTD has develop and design thermocouple tips to detect and measure temperature using thermocouples of various types like B, K, R and S type.
We manufacture expendable immersion type thermocouple tips with spiral cardboard paper tube which are fitted on to lance pipe and used to take the temperature of molten metal in foundry and steel plants.
When immersed in the molten metal for 4 to 6 seconds the process of milivolt transfer to the microprocessor starts and the temperature is displayed on the display unit.
Over view of our range of thermocouple tips are as follows:

MINI
  • THERMOCOUPLE TIP MINI 10% (TYPE S) / 13% (TYPE R) / 6/30% (TYPE B) WITH PAPER TUBE LENGTH OF 300 TO 1500MM AS REQUIRED ACCORDING TO FURNACE CAPACITY.
  • Minitip is used especially for foundry plants
  • Connector type is male
  • Supporter type is Plastic
  • Accuracy: 1deg celcius
  • Usage: Single time used
  • ID/OD: 18MM/32MM

MARK III
  • THERMOCOUPLE TIP MARK III 10% (TYPE S) / 13% (TYPE R) / 6/30% (TYPE B) WITH PAPER TUBE LENGTH OF 300 TO 1500MM AS REQUIRED ACCORDING TO FURNACE CAPACITY.
  • Mark III is used especially for foundry as well as Steel plants
  • Connector type is Female
  • Supporter type is Plastic
  • Accuracy: 1deg celcius
  • Usage: Single time used
  • ID/OD: 28MM/42MM

MARK VII
  • THERMOCOUPLE TIP MARK VII 10% (TYPE S) / 13% (TYPE R) / 6/30% (TYPE B) WITH PAPER TUBE LENGTH OF 300 TO 1500MM AS REQUIRED ACCORDING TO FURNACE CAPACITY.
  • Mark VII is used especially for Steel plants
  • Connector type is Male Female
  • Supporter type is plastic / ceramic as required
  • Accuracy: 1deg celcius
  • Usage: Single time used
  • ID/OD: 18MM/32MM
  • Metal Cap: M.S / AL / CU

Technical specifications:
  • Type B (Platinum / Rhodium)
    Suited for high temperature measurements up to 1800°C. Unusually type B thermocouples (due to the shape of their temperature / voltage curve) give the same output at 0°C and 42°C. This makes them useless below 50°C.
  • Type K (Chromel / Alumel)
    Type K is the 'general purpose' thermocouple. It is low cost and, owing to its popularity, it is available in a wide variety of probes. Thermocouples are available in the -200°C to +1300°C range. Sensitivity is approx 41uV/°C. Use type K unless you have a good reason not to.
  • Type R (Platinum / Rhodium)
    Suited for high temperature measurements up to 1720°C. Low sensitivity (10uV/°C) and high cost makes them unsuitable for general purpose use.
  • Type S (Platinum / Rhodium)
    Suited for high temperature measurements up to 1720°C. Low sensitivity (10uV/vC) and high cost makes them unsuitable for general purpose use. Due to its high stability type S is used as the standard of calibration for the melting point of gold (1064.43°C).
