TC-31 A Magnet Thermocouple is a specialized type of thermocouple sensor designed to measure surface temperatures by attaching magnetically to ferromagnetic materials. It combines the functionality of a standard thermocouple with the convenience of a magnetic mount, making it ideal for applications where non-invasive, temporary temperature monitoring is required.
Key Features:-
- Built-in magnetic base that securely attaches to metal surfaces, ensuring good thermal contact.
- Available in Type K due to its wide temperature range and Type-J for moderate temperature range.
- Typically measures temperatures from -40°C to 400°C, depending on the magnet’s temperature tolerance and the thermocouple type.
- 2.5 , 30 & 50 Pound Pull, Custom option available
- 2 Pole, 4 Pole & 6 Pole magnets are available as per pull strength.
- Commonly used lead wires are Fibre Glass & Teflon with SS overbraid.
- Grounded Junction Recommended for fast response.
Application Note
In industrial environments where temporary or portable surface temperature measurement is required, the TC31 Surface Mount Magnet Style Thermocouple offers a practical and reliable solution. It is ideal for temperature mapping, short-term positioning, and spot-checking on ferrous metal surfaces such as furnace walls, pipes, tanks, and machinery. The strong magnetic base allows quick attachment and removal without drilling or permanent fixtures, making it perfect for temporary installations, maintenance checks, and troubleshooting. This sensor delivers accurate surface temperature readings, helping operators verify thermal uniformity, identify hot spots, and ensure proper heat distribution in processes like metal treatment, chemical reactors, and steam systems. Various lead wire options with different insulation materials and connector types allow easy connection to portable meters or data loggers. Strain relief springs and wire clamps are available to secure the cable in vibrating environments. For reliable, non-invasive surface temperature monitoring in temporary or mobile applications, the TC31 provides the flexibility, ease of use, and accuracy needed to enhance process efficiency and prevent thermal-related issues.
