Clamp-on temperature probe for pipe surface measurement, Type K

GTZ 300

Clamp-on temperature probe for pipe surface temperature, Type K from -65 ... +150 °C, for pipes up to 30 mm with Class 1 thermocouple material and miniature flat plug or loose-end variants.

Introduction

Pipe temperatures often decide the next service step in heating, sanitary, refrigeration and air conditioning systems. This clamp-on probe gives technicians direct surface temperature readings on pipes up to 30 mm, with a Type K thermocouple covering -65 ... +150 °C.

For confident readings on site, the probe uses Class 1 material to IEC 60584-1, with an accuracy of ±1.5°C or 0.40% across the measuring range. The clamp tips are designed to balance response speed and robustness, giving a T90 response time of approx. 3 s while staying suitable for constant contact with cold or warm pipes up to 150 °C.

Used with a suitable two-channel meter such as ECO 130.2 or PRO 131.2/135.2, two sensors can compare flow and return temperatures directly. Miniature flat plug and loose-end connection versions make integration straightforward.

Features

Type K thermocouple

The probe uses a nickel-chromium / nickel-aluminum Type K thermocouple according to IEC 60584-1 for surface temperature measurement on pipes.

Clamp geometry

The clamp design works with pipe diameters up to 30 mm and places the sensor tips in constant contact with cold or warm pipe surfaces. Total length of 170 mm.

Cable configuration

The standard configuration uses a silicone cable with a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 1 m.

Connection options

The cable can be terminated with a miniature flat plug or left as loose ends with ferrules.

Two-channel use

With suitable display devices such as ECO 130.2 or PRO 131.2/135.2, two clamp sensors can measure temperature differences between two pipes.
