TRUE SURFACE THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE TST
INCREASE SURFACE TEMPERATURE ACCURACY WITH IMPROVED THERMOCOUPLE DESIGN
Watlow’s TRUE SURFACE thermocouple (TST) offers superior accuracy for measuring flat surface temperatures. This compact, highly accurate sensor isolates the thermocouple junction from ambient airflow. The TST typically achieves accuracy and repeatability between one to two percent (ΔT).
The TST, with its removable molded cover, fits into corners and other tight locations. TSTs are easy to install with a variety of commonly used screw types.
Watlow’s TST sensor is ideal for many applications including semiconductor chambers, platens, packaging, cleaning and food preparation.

MULTIPOINT THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE AW
ACCURATELY MEASURES TEMPERATURES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS
Temperature variances exist in all systems, regardless of materials, working fluid or system design. There is not a process that involves heating a particular medium where temperature of that medium is consistent throughout— temperature gradients always exist. Sensing temperature at a single location during a process is acceptable for many applications because temperature gradients are often insignificant. However, there is a need for many applications to monitor temperature in multiple locations to ensure a safe, accurate and cost efficient process. Installing multiple, independent temperature sensors may be impractical due to cost or space limitations.
Multipoint temperature sensors accurately measure temperatures at various locations along the sensor’s length. They are used across a broad range of processes and installations—predominately in applications involving a large or complex process where close temperature control is necessary.
Multipoint temperature sensors are designed to meet requirements of specific applications that include temperature, pressure, chemical environments, time response and number of points required. Sensors are constructed from a variety of protecting tube materials that use XACTPAK mineral insulated, metal-sheathed cable. Multipoint temperature sensors are available in standard or special ASTM thermocouple calibration tolerances. For applications requiring extreme accuracy, special constructions can be made with platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

MINERAL INSULATED THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE AQ – MINIATURE TRANSITIONS
WATLOW’S MINERAL INSULATED (MI) THERMOCOUPLES ARE FAST-RESPONDING, DURABLE AND CAPABLE OF HANDLING HIGH TEMPERATURES
Manufactured with best-in-class XACTPAK®, Watlow’s trademark for metal sheathed, mineral insulated (MI) thermocouple material, XACTPAK responds fast because the protective metal outer sheath allows use of smaller diameter thermocouple conductors. The rock hard compacted MgO insulation further enhances the sensor’s ability to “read” temperature by transferring heat quickly to the measuring junction.
The XACTPAK protecting sheath and compacted insulation outperform bare wire thermocouples in most applications.
