Description

Selection of thermocouple heads is made on the basis of operational requirements, accessibility, and/or the need to avoid direct contact with hot surfaces. Also, it is often required that the extension permit removal of the thermocouple element. For these requirements, OMEGA offers a complete line of configurations and component parts which can be configured for specific applications. OMEGA extensions are made of ½" NPT standard weight galvanized steel nipples and unions.
