CPTC Harold G. Schaevitz’s latest miniature temperature sensor can be mounted onto the surface of an extruder barrel or die, or onto an injection molding machine nozzle, hot runner or mold. Designed to be used in confined spaces, the thermocouple sensor is also appropriate for R&D and testing applications. Its measurement range is from minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. The sensor has a 2.1mm by 2.4mm copper pad that can be bonded to surfaces using epoxy resin or cyanoacrylate-based glue. Cost is $28.85. 

What’s new? The sensor. 

Benefits Reliable and consistent temperature measurements in tight spaces. The CPTC is accurate to within plus or minus 0.4 percent of the temperature reading, or better.
