This spring-loaded thermocouple is designed for threaded blind-hole measurements, or for surfaces subject to vibration/oscillation, or any application where positive contact for good measurement, and response in under a half-second is required.

The sensing tip of this device consists of a thin ribbon thermocouple element overlapped onto a phenolic rod. This rod is spring loaded within the threaded stainless steel thermowell body. Thus, the sensing tip can be depressed up to 1/8 inch while it continuously maintains good thermal contact to the object whose temperature is being measured.
