Probe Body / Sheath: Temperature Range -50°C to 400°C

Component Specifications

Definition

The probe body or sheath is a critical component of temperature and pH probes, serving as the protective outer casing that houses the sensing elements. It provides mechanical protection, chemical resistance, and thermal insulation while allowing accurate measurement transmission. In industrial settings, it ensures sensor longevity and measurement reliability in harsh environments.

Working Principle

The probe body/sheath functions as a protective barrier that isolates sensitive sensing elements from external conditions while allowing thermal or chemical interaction for accurate measurements. It maintains structural integrity and prevents contamination of the sensing surface.

Materials

Stainless steel (316L, 304), Hastelloy, titanium, PTFE, PEEK, ceramic, glass. Material selection depends on chemical compatibility, temperature range, and pressure requirements.
