Housing/Probe: Pressure Range 0-1000 bar, Accuracy ±0.5% FS

Q: What is the difference between housing and probe in this component?

The housing is the external protective structure that provides mounting and environmental sealing, while the probe is the internal sensing element that measures temperature or pressure. They work together as an integrated assembly.

Q: How do I select the right material for harsh environments?

For corrosive environments, choose 316L stainless steel housing with PTFE seals. For high-temperature applications, use Inconel sheathed probes with ceramic insulation. Consult chemical compatibility charts for specific applications.

Component Specifications

Definition

A critical component assembly consisting of a protective housing and integrated sensing probe designed for temperature and pressure measurement in industrial environments. The housing provides mechanical protection, environmental sealing, and mounting capabilities, while the probe contains the sensing element that converts physical parameters into electrical signals. This component ensures accurate measurement, durability, and reliable performance in harsh industrial conditions.

Working Principle

The housing protects the internal sensing probe from environmental factors (moisture, dust, chemicals, mechanical stress) while allowing proper thermal or pressure transfer to the sensing element. The probe typically contains a thermocouple, RTD, or strain gauge that generates electrical signals proportional to temperature or pressure changes. The housing maintains proper thermal conductivity or pressure transmission while providing electrical insulation and environmental protection.

Materials

Housing: Stainless steel (316L, 304), aluminum alloys, or engineered plastics (PEEK, PTFE). Probe: Sensing elements (platinum, nickel, copper-nickel alloys), insulation (ceramic, magnesium oxide), sheath materials (stainless steel, Inconel). Seals: Viton, silicone, or EPDM gaskets.
