Type R/S & B contact block used to connect expendable thermocouples to molten metal instrumentation.
These thermocouple connectors are specifically designed for use with a digital pyrometer (DPP) and provide a contact between low-cost expendable thermocouple tips and the instrumentation. They are placed into the end of a 5/8” diameter Stainless Steel tube (dip-arm) and held in place by a split pin. An expendable thermocouple is then placed over the contact block and the arm is dipped into molten metal to measure the temperature.
The connecter can be supplied with or without high temperature fibreglass compensating cable which can be cut to a length to suit your instrumentation.
