2. Design and function
2.1 Description
The model TR12-B (resistance thermometer) and model TC12-B (thermocouple) electrical
thermometers consist of a module (TR12-M, TC12-M) which is built into a case. The
module is made up of a spring-loaded measuring insert (TR12-A, TC12-A) built into a neck
tube. The measuring insert (TR12-A, TC12-A) is replaceable.
The active measuring component of the measuring insert is manufactured from a welded
tube or from mineral-insulated cable, optionally in combination with ceramic-insulated
thermocouple wires. The sensor is embedded in ceramic powder, heat-resistant potting
compound, cement compound or thermally conductive paste.
