The products referenced in the product specifications represent the most popular constructions. Other constructions can be manufactured to meet individual specification and application requirements. Contact factory for additional information
Thermocouple material is normally supplied to meet tolerances above 0C (32F). If material is required to meet
tolerances below 0C (32F), the purchase order must so state. Special selection of material is required.
Suggested initial calibration tolerance. Requirements should be discussed between purchaser and supplier.
