The ACI Thermistor Immersion Series features a ¼” diameter stainless steel probe with two, 14” 22 AWG Etched Teflon colored lead wires depending on the probe length ordered to differentiate the sensor types. The sensors in this series are manufactured using ACI’s proven double encapsulation process to eliminate the effects of moisture and to increase the response times using our high quality, thermally conductive epoxy. Optional NEMA/IP rated enclosures and NIST certificates are available the back of the product data sheet. ACI’s Machined Thermowells are used with temperature instruments in process systems where gas or liquid medias are used to provide a degree of protection for the sensing element when installed inside of a pipe, tank, or piece of equipment. The thermowell provides easy access for NIST Certified applications and enables users to easily replace the sensor without having to drain the entire system. Thermowells also protect the small diameter sensing probes from stresses created by high temperatures and pressures, corrosive environments, or the flow of gas or liquid medias through pipes or equipment. It is recommended to follow a Wake Frequency calculator using the ASME PTC 19.3 TW-2016 standard to help prevent vibrational destruction from damaging the thermowell. ACI’s standard thermowells are made of 304 stainless steel which ensures long lasting reliability and corrosion resistance. Optional 316 Stainless Steel is available for use in applications where higher corrosion resistance is required. This series is machined from solid bar stock to precision tolerances which provides maximum heat transfer when used with a corresponding ACI sensor. When necessary, thermal grease is available from ACI to improve the sensor’s response time. Insertion depth should be long enough to permit the entire temperature-sensitive section of the temperature probe to project into the medium being monitored, thus maximizing measurement accuracy.
