Temperature Probes for Every Application

Temperature Probes

Measuring temperature exactly is essential not only in most industrial processes and research but also in many fields of everyday life. As diverse as the fields of application are, as diverse are the requirements to which temperature measuring equipment is subjected.
Our comprehensive product range contains platinum instrument shunts, thermo couples and thermistors in various shapes and sizes meeting all demands and offering providing adequate solutions.

Should you require specifications other than the given values, we'll provide custom-made products on request.

Low-cost, yet reliable and accurate - our miniaturised temperature probe DKT200 makes measurements possible even in very confined spaces.

Selection of probes based on Pt100/Pt1000, thermistors or thermocouples

Platinum Temperature Sensor (Pt100/Pt1000)
Platinum measuring resistors incorporate a Pt100 or Pt1000 sensor with 1/3 DIN accuracy. They are available in two-wire and also four-wire technique when power resistance needs to be compensated for. Platinum sensors can operate within the range of -50°C...+400°C while still maintaining high accuracy and long-term stability.

Thermocouples
Thermocouples are suitable for a broad temperature range between -25°C and +1100°C. They feature a fast response time and can be used for applications in hard to reach spaces or for rough, industrial applications.

Thermistors
Thermistors are sensors based on metal oxide semiconductors which produce a much larger change in signal when temperatur changes occur. Their operating range is -50°C...+150°C. They come in miniaturized design, helping their fast response time. Due to the thermistor's high resistance the effect of power resistance is reduced and probes with longer cables can be used without creating significant error sources.
Small thermistors (Type S and SU) are particularly suitable for miniaturized probes in steel pipes or tubings.

Cables
Which cable you need to use depends on the chosen probe, sensor model and application conditions.

Connectors

The probes can be fitted with different connectors. Stereo jack, LEMO connectors or miniaturized ISA connectors are available. Customer-specific connector types can be fitted on request.

All-purpose probes are the right choice if you need well-priced probes with good response time. They can be used in air, vapors, liquids, powder and also in refrigerators and freezers.

These probes are quite robust, their housing is made of stainless steel and they come with a rounded tip. All-purpose probes include thermocouples, thermistors, Pt100 and Pt1000 RTDs. Probes with the -EU suffix are best suited for surface temperature measurements.
Typical applications are environmental studies, control in HVAC, engines, production and drying processes.

Robust, fast response time, stainless steel, rounded tip. Typical applications in air, vapors, liquids, powder, refridgerators, freezers, etc.

Type CS- All-purpose probe
Type CM- All-purpose probe
Type CH- All-purpose probe with handle
Type CT- All-purpose probe
Type TH- All-purpose probe
Type EU- All-purpose probe

Customers who need especially small probes, such as veterinaries, zoologists or botanists, find special probes in the Driesen+Kern GmbH product line of temperature sensors.
Within this category you'll find syringe probes, catheter probes and ambient temperature probes for microclimate surveys/monitoring. Special probes are available as thermocouple or as thermistor.
Differen cables and connectors are available as well.

Type DS- Special Syringe Probe
Type FM- Special Catheter Probe
Type DM- Special Syringe Probe
Type FF- Special Catheter Probe
Type AG- Ambient temperature probe

This type of temperature sensor is well suited for operation in a variety of applications but it distinguishes itself at high-temperature applications.
With the bascis probes, which feature the best response times, the two thermocouple wires are welded at the tip.
They can be delivered with cable types PVC, PFA and PTFE each with various lengths.
But they're also available with protective probe pipes/tubings for immersion in liquids and improved stability.

Sheathed thermocouples can be used in a range at to 1100°C. The soldered tip is protected by a bendable metal tubing.
These sheathed thermocouples can be manufactured with lengths of up to several meters in order to protect the cable which would otherwise be affected by the high temperatures.
Potential applications include trailing cables in furnace processes. Sheathed thermocouples are extremely robust and flexible.
They are available either with a connector (MB order code) or with open wires (MA order code).

Mineral insulated thermocouples are specifically designed for industrial applications featuring a stainless steel shaft and a robust bodies for the head-mounted transducer.
The head-mounted transducer can be exchanged during operation with the help of so called thermo pouches.

Stainless steel probe with welded, round tip. PVC cable for connection (2m) with open ends. Suitable for basic industrial applications.

Type L- Sheathed thermocouple
Type M- Sheathed thermocouple

These robust penetration probes are the best choice if you have to perform measurements in frozen food, in the ground or in ice.
The probe's tubing has puncturing tip helping the probe to be inserted to and removed from even frozen objects.

Stainless steel pipe probe, sturdy handle for easy insertion and extraction in/from solid material. Potential sample objects are frozen food, ground or ice.

Type HS- Penetration probe
Type CMP- Penetration probe
