SKF TMDT 2-31 Type K Pipe Surface Thermocouple → 240 °C Max

This pipe surface thermocouple is a pipe-mounted sensor designed for direct temperature monitoring on external surfaces. It uses a K-type sensing element to detect thermal conditions on piping and similar metalwork, providing real-time readings suited to industrial control and monitoring environments. The unit is intended for applications where surface contact measurement and compatibility with automation and process systems are required.

• K-type sensor element for broad temperature compatibility • Measures up to 240°C for high-temperature surface monitoring • Response time 7s for Rapid detection of thermal changes • RoHS-exempt construction enabling use where exemptions apply • Designed for surface mounting to capture pipe exterior temperatures

• Suitable for monitoring process pipe temperatures in plants • Used for thermal checks on HVAC and chilled-water distribution pipes • Ideal for integration with control systems in automation panels • Can be used for preventative maintenance on mechanical pipework

It relies on a K-type thermocouple junction that generates a millivolt signal proportional to temperature differences between the sensor tip and its reference.

The sensor exhibits a response time of 7s, so it reflects surface temperature shifts on the order of seconds for timely control actions.

It is specified to sense temperatures up to 240°C, suitable for many industrial heating and process environments.

The unit is listed as RoHS-exempt, which may influence material-usage restrictions and selection for installations subject to RoHS rules.
