TH Series Temperature Sensor
RELIABLE AND SENSITIVE
ROBUST CONSTRUCTION
VARIOUS CONFIGURATIONS AVAILABLE
Temperature sensor series TH provides reliable means to monitor temperature in rock, concrete, soil, or ground fill
Temperature sensors are available in three different models: TH-T, TH-PT100, and TH-TC.
Model TH-T uses a 3 kΩ chip thermistor. The thermistor is encapsulated and sealed into a stainless steel or PVC cylindrical housing. Two lead wires are connected to the thermistor for readout. The TH-T incorporates the standard thermistor used in most vibrating wire instruments.
Model TH-PT100 consists of a platinum resistor highly sensible to temperature. Platinum is well suited because of its stability at high temperature. A four- or three-wire bridge mounting gives a good measurement resolution with a portable bridge measurement device or a data acquisition system. The sensor is enclosed inside a stainless steel housing, which allows grouting while offering resistance to strain.
Model TH-TC is a thermocouple consisting of a twin solid thermocouple wire AWG 24, covered by a 0.38-mm thick PVC jacket and encapsulated in a PVC protective housing. It is usually connected with an extension wire, which will be connected to a readout unit. The thermocouple and extension wires are copper-constantan alloy (type T).
