These self-adhering mount K-Type thermocouples provide a rapid response (less than 0.15 seconds) and can be operated up to temperatures of 260°C (500°F) or can be cemented in place for use at temperatures up to 315°C (600°F). They use a polyimide and fiberglass junction insulation along with a fiberglass-insulated lead wire and require a patch length 1" by 0.375" width. It is important that they thermocouple be securely connected to the part being heated at all times so that good thermal contact in achieved turning the complete bakeout cycle. Caution, if the thermocouple loses contact with the fitting the temperature controller will measure a much lower temperature of the room air. This will result in a dangerously high run away heating of the vacuum-flanged fitting. We recommend that these thermocouples be directly adhered to the outer surface of the flange with the band nozzle heater installed over the thermocouple. This procedure will clamp the thermocouple onto the heated conflat flange.
