The Surface Temperature Thermocouple Probe functions as a contact-based sensing device that detects temperature variation on solid surfaces during operational monitoring activities. It converts surface heat changes into electrical signals that represent temperature values, allowing monitoring systems to interpret thermal conditions in real time. By maintaining direct contact with the measured surface, the probe responds to temperature rise and drop as they occur, supporting continuous observation of thermal behavior. The probe enables comparison of temperature differences across components by providing repeatable contact readings during inspection and monitoring cycles.Attributes:• Detects surface temperature through direct contact.• Converts heat variation into electrical signals.• Responds to temperature rise and drop.• Maximum sheath temperature rating reaches 980 degrees Celsius.• Maximum lead temperature rating reaches 482.2 degrees Celsius.• Maximum tip temperature rating reaches 815 degrees.Applications: The Surface Temperature Thermocouple Probe is used for detecting and monitoring surface temperature changes through direct contact measurement to support operational temperature evaluation.
