OMEGA™ Exotic Thermocouple
Probes are designed for use in
extreme temperatures, up to 2315°C
(4200°F). These probes utilize either
Platinum/Rhodium (types R, S, or B)
or Tungsten/Rhenium (types G, C, or
D) elements, with a variety of
insulations and sheath materials.
Depending upon the sheath material
selected, these probes may be used
in inert, oxidizing, reducing or
vacuum conditions. The maximum
temperature is based on the lowest
max. temperature of the element,
insulation and sheath material. Five
cold end probe terminations are
available: replacement probe,
subminiature or standard size
ceramic connector, heavy-duty
standard size, molybdenum-sheathed
nylon connector, or transition joint
with 2 metre long lead wire.
Sheath Materials
Code | Material | Max. Operating Temp. | Working Environment | Approx. Melting Point | Remarks |
XTA | Tantalum | 2300°C 4200°F | Vacuum | 3000°C 5425°F | Resists Many Acids and Weak Alkalies. Very Sensitive to
Oxidation Above 300°C |
XMO* | Molybdenum | 2200°C 4000°F | Inert Vacuum Reducing | 2610°C 4730°F | Sensitive to Oxidation
Above 200°C Non-bendable |
XPA | Platinum- Rhodium Alloy | 1650°C 3000°F | Oxidizing Inert | 1870°C 3400°F | No Attack by SO2
at 1100°C. Silica Is Detrimental. Halogens Attack at High Temp. |
XIN | Inconel 600 | 1150°C 2100°F | Oxidizing Inert Vacuum | 1400°C 2550°F | Excellent Resistance to Oxidation at High Temp. Hydrogen Tends to Embrittle. Very
Sensitive to Sulphur Corrosion |
*Refractory metals are extremely sensitive to any trace of oxygen above approximately 260°C
(500°F). Must be used in vacuum or in very pure inert gases such as Hellium or Argon.
Insulation Materials
Code | Material | Max. Operating Temp.** | Approx. Melting Point | Remarks |
H | Hafnia (HfO2) | 2500°C 4530°F | 2830°C 5125°F | Nontoxic substitute for BeO. High Thermal Conductivity. |
M | Magnesia (MgO) | 1650°C 3000°F | 2790°C 5050°F | Hygroscopic. Compacts Well. |
A | Alumina (Al2O3) | 1540°C 2800°F | 2010°C 3650°F | Requires Considerable Volume Reduction to Compact Satisfactorily. |
Note: For temperatures above 1000°C (1800°F), all insulating materials experience a
substantial decrease in resistivity with increasing temperatures.
** Values given are for compacted insulation. For uncompacted hard-fired insulators,
useful temperature range can be 40 to 90°C (100 to 200°F) higher.
Molybdenum sheathed probes are not recommended in applications where they will be
exposed to carbon, including graphite.
For Graphite environments, Consult Omega's Sales
Department for Pricing and Delivery on Tungsten Coated Molybdenum
sheathed T hermocouples.
