THERMOCOUPLES
TLSC5
Description
This is a thermocouple sensor for industrial applications available in Type J, K, N, T and other grades upon request.
The thermocouple consists of a 6 mm diameter stem with either a transmitter mounting plate or a ceramic terminal block for electrical connection.
The hot junction can be either “grounded” or “ungrounded” from the sheath. The terminal head can be selected from a wide choice of standard items. It also provides an extension neck, a hex nipple or a NUN neck with different lengths.
The thermocouple can be installed into a thermowell by means of a fixed thread on the extension neck.

Head, electrical connection and display
| Head (terminal enclosure) | This product is available in the complete range of heads. Complete information on the various options is available in the Thermocouple and RTD Heads section. |
|
| Transmitters (optional) | We can manufacture the thermocouples fitted with transmitters to increase accuracy and reliability compared to direct wired solutions. We offer a wide range of transmitters that are PC Programmable including: • HART® Programmable Transmitters • Profibus® PA Head Transmitters • Foundation Fieldbus™ Head Transmitters |
|
| Displays (optional) | We can manufacture the thermocouples fitted with pluggable displays to indicate actual measured values, identification and fault events. This requires the use of a suitable terminal head with a display window. |
