PTC-WT Washer Type Thermocouple
The PTC-WT Washer Thermocouple delivers precise surface temperature measurements, making it ideal for flat or slightly curved surfaces. Its washer-shaped ring terminal enables easy and secure mounting under bolts or screws, ensuring consistent thermal contact and reliable temperature readings. Because of this design, the PTC-WT Washer Thermocouple suits many industrial, commercial, and HVAC applications that require accurate surface temperature monitoring.
Offering compatibility with both Type J and Type K thermocouples, the PTC-WT Washer Thermocouple provides flexibility across various temperature ranges. It performs well in environments ranging from moderate to high temperatures. Moreover, its compact and low-profile design allows installation in tight or confined spaces without compromising performance. The sensor features a stainless-steel washer that resists corrosion and wear, while high-quality insulated lead wires enhance durability and protect against harsh conditions.
Designed for long-term reliability, the PTC-WT Washer Thermocouple withstands moisture, mechanical vibration, and thermal cycling—common challenges in many
industrial settings. As a result, it ensures stable and repeatable temperature measurements. These accurate readings help you maintain equipment safety, optimize processes, and improve product quality. Additionally, customizable lead wire lengths accommodate different installation requirements, adding flexibility and convenience.
Installation is straightforward and requires no special tools—just basic hand tools to securely mount the washer under existing bolts or screws. This design eliminates the need for clamps or adhesives, making maintenance and replacement easier. Whether you use it for machinery monitoring, process control, HVAC, or automotive applications, the PTC-WT Washer Thermocouple delivers dependable and precise surface temperature sensing that supports your operational goals and enhances system performance.
