Product Overview
KASI supplies thermocouple plugs (TC plugs) for rent and sale across Canada and Alberta. These specialized connectors are essential for transmitting accurate temperature readings from thermocouples and extending thermocouple wire connections.We proudly supply heat treatment furnaces in Canada, including specialized PWHT furnaces in Alberta, tailored to the needs of industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
Thermocouple plugs are engineered to provide secure, accurate connections between thermocouple wires and measurement devices. Because thermocouples operate on the principle of two dissimilar metals, the plugs must be rated for the specific thermocouple type (e.g., Type K, Type J) to ensure reliable readings.
At KASI, our TC plugs are manufactured to meet high industry standards, ensuring consistent performance in harsh industrial environments. They are commonly used in oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, fabrication, and heat treatment applications where precise monitoring is critical.
Key Benefits:
- Accurate Transmission: Maintains precise temperature readings during extension or connection.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand industrial heat treatment environments.
- Flexibility: Allows extension of thermocouple wires without loss of accuracy.
- Compatibility: Easily integrates with TC wires and thermocouple attachment units (TAU).
What is a thermocouple connector?
A thermocouple connector, also known as a thermocouple plug, is a specialized connector designed to transmit temperature signals from thermocouple wires to measuring instruments. It ensures a stable and accurate connection between the thermocouple and monitoring device.
Do thermocouples need special connectors?
Yes. Thermocouples require special connectors made from compatible materials that match the thermocouple type (e.g., Type K, J, T). Using non-matching connectors can introduce errors in temperature measurement.
What is the connection of a thermocouple?
A thermocouple connection consists of two dissimilar metal wires joined at one end (the measuring junction). The connector (plug) extends these wires to instrumentation, maintaining accuracy by matching the thermocouple alloy.
Where are thermocouple plugs used?
They are commonly used in industrial heat treating, welding, furnaces, and laboratory testing, wherever accurate temperature measurement and reliable connections are required.
