Rated 5 out of 5 by from Inexpensive monitoring Purchased the thermocouples with 120 inch cable to monitor bearing temperatures on inaccessible vacuum pumps. For $20 each it is an extremely cost effective way to monitor these devices.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from High quality, fast reacting thermocouple. Well made thermocouple assembly. The connector and strain relief are always great quality, which I expect from Omega. The self sticking works well on aluminum and fiberglass. Very little thermal lag, the junction is very thin and responsive.

Are these thermocouples resistant to electrical noise? How can I shield these thermocouples?

Asked by: Var11
Hi Varll, Thank you for the inquiry. The SA1 series have a polyamide film on the top and bottom of the thermocouple element. This insulates the TC from electrical noise via direct contact with process. If you experience electrical noise via RF please contact us for more solutions. Best regards OMEGA

Are these thermocouples suitable for an outdoor application? Specifically installation on the back of a solar panel for extended periods of time (> 6 months).

Asked by: davidlenfesty
Yes, I have used these for that exact application with some Kapton tape on the TC and they work well.

What is the life expectancy in a heat cycling application with 50 psi applied?

Asked by: Bob58
Thank you for your inquiry Bob58. These probes are not pressure rated and they have not been tested on pressurized environments. We do not recommend the use of this probe in pressure environments. Life expectancy for any of our of products depends on the frequency the product is used.

Can I use this Thermocouple and connector with the wireless unit SS-002-0-NA?

Asked by: AMCN
Thank you for your question. You have to purchase the model thermocouple with stripped leads because SS-002-0-NA has screw terminals for wire connection.

Why do you say that the product is not suitable for application underwater? Is it an issue of the effect of having the water as a heat sink? Is it an issue of the thermocouple not being sealed in the polyimide material? Or the adhesive?

Asked by: Research Engineer
Thank you for your inquiry. Thermocouple is not sealed. When water is trapped inside the insulation after being submerged then the thermocouple will being to short out and give an intermittent incorrect millivolt output.
