FAQCT-102 Standard Temperature Probe
Flexible configuration, contact measurement wire-type temperature sensing rod.
The CT-102 is a general-purpose temperature sensor designed for direct attachment or insertion of the sensing probe into the surface of a target area for temperature measurement. It is widely used in metal processing equipment, control boxes, heating devices, and other applications requiring contact measurement. It features a simple structure, fast response, and flexible installation, making it suitable for use with temperature gauges or automated systems for real-time temperature control.
Description
The CT-102 features a screwless mounting structure and an insert or probe contact design, allowing for flexible placement on equipment surfaces or in holes. It is suitable for environments requiring direct contact between the sensing point and the equipment, such as metal surfaces, machine interiors, and pipe walls. Thermocouples or platinum resistors can be selected as the sensing element, and various connector types and wire materials can be used to provide a flexible and stable temperature detection solution.
