Thermocouples (Type T or K) are supplied with water tight connectors and gold plated connections to provide IP67 rating of the logger. Reliability and accuracy are guaranteed in the most hostile of environments, including steam, water and condensation. Thermocouples can be mixed, matched and interchanged according to the type of process and product.
Thermocouple cable lengths can be customized to match the
exact requirements of the process. Using cables, the temperature
sensor is positioned away from the data logger thermal barrier in
the product, preventing the thermal mass of the data logger from
affecting the heating characteristics of the product being measured.
Unlike systems which require the measurement device to be
placed inside the product to protect from the oven temperature,
the measurement made by the Multipaq system is an accurate
representation of what the product experiences during a normal
production run.

Datapaq Thermocouple Options
MI Needle - Probe Ambient or product temperature where temperatures exceed 265ºC (509ºF)
Standard Needle - PTFE cable with insertion probe. Needle length 90 mm (3.5 in), 1.6 mm (.06 in) in diameter. Used to measure internal product temperatures for medium to large products.
Short Needle - PTFE cable with insertion probe. Needle length 40 mm (1.6 in), 1.6 mm (.06 in) in diameter, with location barb to prevent probe movement. Used to measure internal product temperatures for small to medium-sized products or surface temperatures for large products.
Heavy Duty Probe - PTFE cable with insertion probe. Needle length 125 mm (5 in), 3.2 mm (.12 in) in diameter, with location
barb to prevent probe movement and includes a handle to aid with insertion. Used to measure internal product temperatures for large-sized products, typically meat products where probe insertion may be difficult.
Air Clip Probe - PTFE cable with air temperature sensor mounted on a clip attachment. Used for environmental monitoring of an oven fitted to a product rack or tray used to transport the product.
Food Core Probe - PTFE cable with exposed temperature sensor. Used for environmental monitoring or insertion into products in a semi-solid / liquid state prior to cooking, e.g. bakery.
Food Can Probe - PTFE cable with long round ended needle. Needle length 200 mm (8 in), 1.6 mm (.06 in) in diameter. Used in combination with a can adaptor (PA0620) to measure the internal product temperature of a sealed can / bottle in pasteurization or sterilization processes.
