Description
The Fast Response Thermocouple (QRT) is engineered for rapid and accurate temperature measurement in industrial applications where quick detection of process temperature changes is essential. Manufactured with Chromel-Alumel (K-Type) thermoelements enclosed inside a 6 mm SS310 mineral insulated sheath, the sensor combines compacted magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation with a durable stainless steel construction to deliver excellent heat transfer, electrical insulation, vibration resistance, and long-term reliability. Its mineral insulated (MI) construction minimizes thermal lag, allowing the sensor to respond quickly while maintaining dependable performance in demanding industrial environments up to 1000°C.
