Okazaki Aeropak® Mineral Insulated Thermocouple

Manufacturer: Okazaki Manufacturing Company
Features
- Wider Application Range
- Since the outer diameter is small, you can measure the temperature of small targets. In addition, since the structure is a sheath type, AEROPAK is high temperature/high pressure tolerant and can be used for a wide temperature range of -200 to 1,260℃.
- High Response
- Since a thermocouple with a smaller outer diameter has smaller heat capacity, AEROPAK sensitively responds to temperature changes.
- Easier Handling
- The minimum bend radius is two times larger than the sheath outer diameter. AEROPAK easily installed in various places at a site.
- Longer Product Life
- In comparison to conventional thermocouples, AEROPAK has a longer life since it is insulated and sealed with magnesium oxide which is stable chemically for thermo-electromotive force deterioration and accidents of disconnection, etc.
- Mechanical Strength/Pressure Resistance
- Selecting sheath materials allows safe use even in places with high vibration, corrosive atmosphere, high temperature and low temperature. Even a sheath with a small outer diameter allows approx. 350 MPa of pressure resistance strength at 650℃.
- Sheath Outer Diameter Manufacturing Available
- We can manufacture a sheath outer diameter of 0.08 to 22 mm.
- Sheath Length Manufacturing Available
- We can manufacture up to approx. 1,000 m depending on the sheath outer diameter.
- Special Needs Handling
- We can handle various needs with our factory dedicated to sheaths.

- Sheath material: B = NCF600eq (1) C = 316SS D = 310SSS K = H2300 (2) V = Hastelloy-X SA = SC1000H (5) SN = SC1000N (5)
- NCF600eq is equivalent to Inconel 600.
- H2300® is a special sheath material for HOSKINS2300®.
- We can manufacture AEROPAK with sheath diameters and materials other than the above. Please contact us. (Example : 347SS, 321SS, 316LSS, etc)
- JIS is not applicable for sheath outer diameter of Φ0.25 or less.
- SC1000H and 1000N are supercouples for high temperature and the core wire diameter is 20% or more of the sheath outer diameter.
