Sensors - Marlox Thermocouples-Junction Type

Thermocouple Junctions

All junctions are welded by the tungsten inert gas method to insure performance and to prevent contamination of marlox thermocouples.

Exposed Junction
Bare thermocouple wires are welded to form a junction that extends beyond the sheath for a distance equal to the sheath diameter. Used where fast response is required and contamination is not a factor.
Grounded Junction
The thermocouple junction is welded directly to the sheath. Provides good thermocouple protection against pressure, moisture and mechanical damage yet retains good response characteristics.
Ungrounded Junction
The junction is electrically and mechanically insulated from the sheath for long life characteristics under maximum corrosion, thermal shock, and vibration conditions.
Dual Element Junction
Dual element Marlox provides two circuits for simultaneous response from a single thermal point. Exposed, grounded or dual ungrounded are available. In Marlox 0.125" diameter and up the dual element ungrounded thermocouple junctions are insulated from the sheath and each other. Smaller diameter Marlox dual ungrounded junctions are insulated from the sheath but not from each other.
Weld Pad Junction
The junction is used as a means of attaching Marlox to surfaces such as boiler tubes and pipes to provide efficient surface temperature measurement. Standard construction utilizes grounded or ungrounded junction Marlox welded to an alloy pad (1" x 1" x 1/8") of the same composition as the sheath. Tube skin perpendicular and parallel pad arrangements are available.
