T udorTM TEMPERATURE SENSORS athenacontrols.com ATHENA CONTROLS, INC. 5145 Campus Drive Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462-1129 U.S.A. TUDORTM TEMPERATURE SENSORS Tudor thermocouples and thermocouple wire meet accuracy standards as defined by the many technical societies and manufacturers. These accuracies are listed in the Engineering Data section of the Athena Reference Information publication, available on request and at our web site, www.athenacontrols.com. Special accuracy thermocouples and thermocouple wire are also defined and are detailed in this section. Selected grade thermocouple wire can be supplied in instances where special or standard grade material does not provide the accuracy needed at specific temperatures. The availability of this grade depends on your specific requirements and stock levels. Calibration of thermocouples or thermocouple wire is a laboratory test performed on a specific product or lot to determine its departure from a defined temperature — E.M.F. relationship. ASTM E 230 (ITS 90) describes the rela- tionship for the various thermocouple types, portions of which can be found in Athena’s Technical Reference Information booklet, available on request. Calibrations are conducted following the general guidelines of ASTM E 220. Test results are reported in certificate form indicating test temperatures, ˚F or ˚C corrections and standards traceable data. Calibration is performed in accordance with MIL-C-45662, ANSI/NSCL Z540-1, and ISO 10012-1. Overall production satisfies the requirements of MIL-I-45208. Additionally, the product testing and certification requirements of AMS- When you have a technical problem or question about 2750-C and ASTM E 608 can be supplied. thermocouples, RTDs, or temperature measurement, give Each product tested can be tagged with a test number, Athena a call.

Many larger thermocouple manufacturers would rather not be bothered with “specials.” They want large volume orders. So “specials” go to the bottom of the pile and delivery and communication with the customer are usually very poor. Of course, we like large orders as much as the next company. But what sets us apart is our enthusiasm about solving problems for our customers, big and small. You can depend on Athena and Tudor brand temperature sen- sors to provide the temperature measurement and control solutions you need. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Thermocouples Tu-Pak® Thermocouple Assemblies . 4 Head Type 5 Connector Type 6 Wire Type 7 Industrial Process/Pressure Vessel Thermocouples . 8 Assemblies 8 Replacement Elements (2400 Series) 9 Drilled Thermowells 10 Bearing Metal Thermocouples . 15 Base Metal Thermocouple Assemblies . 16 Ceramic Tube Type 16 Straight-Metal Protection Tube 17 Angled-Metal Protection Tube 18 Metal Protection Tubes 19 Replacement Elements (Base Metal Type) 20 Noble Metal Thermocouple Assemblies . .21 Assemblies 21 Replacement Elements (Noble Metal Type) 22 Ceramic and Non-Metallic Protection Tubes 23 Vacuum Furnace Thermocouples . .24 Double-Tube Thermocouple Assemblies . .27 Wire-Type Thermocouples . .28 Bayonet-Style Thermocouples . .29 Melt Bolt Thermocouples . .30 Pharmaceutical Thermocouples . .31 Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) Connector-Type Resistance Temperature Detectors . .33 Head-Type Resistance Temperature Detectors . .34 Lead Wire-Type Resistance Temperature Detectors . .35 Accessories Connection Heads . .36 Terminal Blocks . .38 Vacuum Fittings . .39 Convenience Connectors . .40 Standard 40 Miniature 41 Strip Panels and Terminal Blocks 42 Strip Panels with Mounting Frame 43 Insulators . .44 Retractable Cord Sets for T/C’s and RTDs . .45 Bare Thermocouple Wire . .46 Insulated Thermocouple and Extension Wire . .47 Part Number Index . .49 Custom Probe Form . .58 3 TU-PAK® THERMOCOUPLE ASSEMBLIES Tu-Pak® is Athena’s trademark for metal-sheathed, mineral-insulated (MI) thermocouple material. It is a departure from the traditional assembly of tubes, wires and insulators. It has a unit-construction with no replacement parts. Tu-Pak has improved thermal response, greater flexibility and, size for size, it is longer lasting than traditional types. Tu-Pak® Dimensions and Wire Sizes Sheath Outside Nominal Approximate Nom.

Measuring Junctions Grounded Junction - The sheath and the thermocouple wires are welded together, forming a completely closed measuring junction. Recommended in the presence of liquids, moisture, gas, or high pressure. The thermocouple is protected from the environment. Response time approaches that of an exposed junction. Ungrounded Junction - The thermocouple junction is insulated from the welded measuring junction closure. Recommended for applications where stray EMFs could affect the instrument reading and for frequent/rapid temperature cycling. Response time is slower than a grounded junction. Exposed Junction - The thermocouple junction is not protected by a welded closure. Insulation is sealed against liquid or gas penetration. Provides fastest response time. Not recommended for applications that are corrosive. 4 TU-PAK® HEAD-TYPE THERMOCOUPLE ASSEMBLIES Terminations & Length Specifications (Custom Head Type Terminations also available on request) Part No. Style 1000 General Purpose Cast Aluminum Head. 1002 Hazardous Location Cast Aluminum Head. 1003 Screw-Cover Thermoplastic Head. 1004 Screw-Cover Cast Iron Head. 2000 Screw-Cover Cast Aluminum Head. 2002 Screw-Cover Aluminum Head with 1/2" NPT SS spring loaded oil and vapor seal. 3000 300˚F (149°C) max.
