Type E Thermocouple Probe (316L Stainless Steel Sheath, M20×1.5 Thread, IP65)
Product Overview
Type E thermocouple probe (as shown) from Huona New Material is a high-sensitivity industrial temperature sensor featuring a Type E (Chromel/Constantan) thermocouple junction, a 316L stainless steel protective sheath, and a choice of brass or die-cast aluminum connection head (IP65). Manufactured with precision welding and high-quality insulation, it delivers stable thermoelectric performance across -200℃ to 900℃ (continuous) / 1000℃ (short-term). Ideal for cryogenic applications, chemical processing, and industrial furnaces, it offers excellent thermoelectric sensitivity, superior corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability.

Key Core Advantages (Centered on Type E Sensitivity & 316L Corrosion Resistance)
1. Highest Thermoelectric Sensitivity
- Superior Signal Output: Type E exhibits the highest Seebeck coefficient among common base-metal thermocouples, providing a stronger and more stable signal for precise temperature measurement, especially at low temperatures.
- Wide Temperature Range: Continuous operation from -200℃ to 900℃, making it ideal for both cryogenic and medium-temperature industrial applications.
2. High Precision & Accuracy
- Class 1 Accuracy: Thermoelectric potential error ≤±1.0℃ (0–300℃) / ±0.4% t (300–900℃), meeting the precision requirements for critical industrial process control and scientific research.
- Fast Thermal Response: Compact sheath design provides a thermal response time (τ₅₀) ≤2s in air at 600℃, ideal for dynamic temperature monitoring.
3. Rugged Construction & Environmental Resistance
- 316L Stainless Steel Sheath: Provides excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting, and crevice attack, making it ideal for marine, petrochemical, and acidic environments.
- IP65 Connection Head: Choice of brass or die-cast aluminum head with IP65 protection, preventing ingress of dust and water, suitable for outdoor and wet industrial settings.
4. Secure Mounting & Easy Installation
- Standard M20×1.5 Thread: Enables secure, stable installation in process pipelines, equipment casings, and furnace walls, with adjustable insertion depth.
- Universal Compatibility: Compatible with most industrial temperature controllers, data loggers, and PLC systems.
5. Versatile Processability
- Flexible Termination: Connection head accommodates standard terminal blocks for easy wiring and maintenance.
- Customizable Options: Supports various sheath lengths, diameters, and connection head materials to meet specific application needs.
