The OPTITEMP TCA-S21 is a threaded thermocouple (TC) assembly with a reduced welded multipart thermowell (based on form 8). The industrial temperature assembly for standard applications is suitable for temperature measurement of liquids and gases where a fast response time is required. The TC sensor can be used in pipes and tanks at low to medium pressures and flow velocities. It is predominantly used in applications with lower process temperatures up to +150°C / +302°F.
