Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
A thermocouple uses two dissimilar metals to generate a voltage based on temperature difference, while an RTD measures temperature through the change in electrical resistance of a pure metal, typically platinum. Thermocouples can measure higher temperatures (up to 1700°C) but have lower accuracy, while RTDs offer higher accuracy and stability over a range of -200 to 850°C.
The product references IEC 60751 for RTD accuracy and response time, IEC 60529 for ingress protection, and ASTM A312 for sheath material. These standards are for procurement and verification; actual compliance must be confirmed with the manufacturer.
Probe diameter ranges from 3 to 12 mm, and probe length from 50 to 500 mm. Custom lengths are available. The choice depends on the installation space and required response time.
The operating pressure is 1.0 to 1.6 MPa. Always verify the pressure rating for your specific application.
