Insertion-thermocouple with ceramic thermowell

The OPTITEMP TCA-P63 is an insertion thermocouple with ceramic thermowell and can be fitted with base and noble metal thermocouple. When the base element type K is used, measuring insert TC100 are installed. With noble metal thermocouples, for example type S, bare thermo wires are inserted into ceramic insulating rods and connected to the ceramic connection block inside the head.
