Type K Class 1 Bead Thermocouple Sensor for Composites Curing - PTFE Lead with SS Underbraid [0...200 °C] - ITS-TEK-390

Key Features

• PTFE with stainless steel underbraid construction – provides abrasion resistance and structural support without the contamination and fibre shedding risks associated with fibreglass braids.
• Reduced cable memory effect – improves handling and routing inside vacuum bags and ovens, making the lead easier to position and keep organised during setup.
• Exposed bead junction – delivers fast thermal response, improving tracking of surface temperature changes during cure cycles.
• Class 1 accuracy (Type K) – supports reliable temperature measurement within defined tolerance limits for process control.
• Supplied with round pin connector – suitable for connection to fixed thermocouple sockets inside ovens and autoclaves.
• Reusable design – optimised for repeated use through improved mechanical durability and resistance to flex-related damage.
• Smooth, sterile cable finish – simplifies cleaning and reduces contamination retention in composite processing environments.
• 200 °C full assembly rating – entire sensor, including connector, is suited to typical composite curing conditions.
• Custom lengths available – enables configuration for specific oven layouts or process requirements.

Composite Curing and Vacuum Oven Use

Designed for composite technicians requiring a reusable, mechanically robust thermocouple that maintains performance through repeated curing cycles without the handling and contamination drawbacks of fibreglass designs.
