LC-57001 K-type Armored Continuous Thermocouple
Application Areas:
Petroleum, Chemical, Aviation, Aerospace
Technical Standard:Q
Product Introduction:
The K-type Armored Continuous Thermocouple (also known as Surface Thermocouple) is a line-type temperature sensor capable of detecting the highest temperature along its length. When laid over a surface, it measures the highest temperature present on that surface. It is an innovative product in China, offering advantages over similar international products, solving long-standing challenges in temperature monitoring.
Product Features:
Temperature sensing at any point along the thermocouple, generating a millivolt signal without external power.
Alarm points can be set at any time.
Automatically resets after an alarm, allowing for repeated use.
Capable of measuring the rate of temperature increase.
Measures the highest point temperature, not the average.
No on-site calibration or activation required.
Technical Specifications:
- Model: LC-57001/2.5 (2.5 represents the outer diameter)
- Outer Protection Tube: Inconel Heat-resistant Alloy
- Temperature Element: Standard K-type Thermocouple
- Output Signal: DC millivolt signal corresponding to the highest temperature point on the cable
- Operating Temperature: 80~880℃
- Maximum Temperature: -40~900℃

Applications:
This thermocouple is widely used in distributed temperature monitoring and over-temperature alarm systems in coal chemical industries in China, primarily for monitoring surface temperatures and over-temperature alarms in large equipment like gasifiers. It is also suitable for temperature monitoring in coal storage bins, polycrystalline silicon ingot furnaces, air preheaters in thermal power plants, boiler shells, and locomotive power cabins.
Customized complete systems, including transmitters, collection systems, compensating wires, high-temperature connectors, installation clamps, and on-site installation guidance services, can be provided upon request.
