L shaped thermocouple

Description

  • An L-shaped thermocouple is a type of thermocouple probe that has a bent or angled shape, typically forming an “L” or “U” shape.
  • The L-shaped design allows the thermocouple to be used in applications where a straight probe cannot be easily inserted or maneuvered, such as in tight spaces or around corners.
  • L-shaped thermocouples are commonly used in HVAC systems, automotive applications, and industrial processes where precise temperature measurement is required in hard-to-reach areas.
  • The probe is typically made of a thermocouple wire encased in a protective sheath made of stainless steel, Inconel, or other materials depending on the application requirements.
  • The bend or angle in the probe can affect the accuracy of temperature measurement, so it is important to select a probe with the correct bend angle for the application.
  • Some L-shaped thermocouples come with a handle or grip to make it easier to manipulate and position the probe.
  • The thermocouple wire can be selected based on the temperature range and accuracy required for the application, with options such as Type K, Type T, and Type J thermocouple wires commonly used.
