Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RUBBERFAB from 3G Electric.
What is the temperature range of Rubberfab Type K thermocouples?
Rubberfab Type K thermocouples, such as the ACC-K-199A-L and ACC-K-199A-S, are rated for a temperature range of -200°C to 1,370°C (-328°F to 2,498°F). Accuracy is specified as ±0.2°C from -40°C to 200°C. These probes are intended for gas applications including furnace monitoring and exhaust measurement. The Type K configuration is suitable for oxidizing atmospheres and provides a wide temperature span. When selecting a thermocouple, verify the process temperature and atmosphere to ensure compatibility with the Type K alloy. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs and can provide quotes based on your specific requirements.
What is the difference between Rubberfab Type K and Type T thermocouples?
Rubberfab offers both Type K and Type T thermocouples in the ACC series. Type K (e.g., ACC-K-199A-L) uses a nickel-chromium/nickel-aluminum junction and is suited for a wide temperature range up to 1,370°C. Type T (e.g., ACC-T-199A-S) uses copper/constantan and is often chosen for lower-temperature applications where greater accuracy is needed, though the Rubberfab Type T models also list a range up to 1,370°C. Both types share the same accuracy specification of ±0.2°C from -40°C to 200°C. Selection depends on the process atmosphere, temperature, and the input requirements of your monitoring equipment.
Are Rubberfab thermocouples suitable for combustion system monitoring?
Yes, Rubberfab thermocouples are designed for gas applications, which include combustion systems, furnace monitoring, and exhaust temperature measurement. The ACC series probes are available in Type K and Type T configurations, with a temperature range up to 1,370°C and accuracy of ±0.2°C from -40°C to 200°C. These characteristics make them applicable for feedback in combustion control loops, where consistent temperature readings are necessary. However, the specific probe construction, such as sheath material and diameter, should be checked against the installation environment. 3G Electric can provide part numbers and specifications for the models we carry.
What models of Rubberfab thermocouples does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies several Rubberfab thermocouple models, including the ACC-K-199A-L, ACC-T-199A-S, ACC-K-199A-S, and ACC-T-199A-L. These are Type K and Type T thermocouples for gas applications, with a temperature range of -200°C to 1,370°C and accuracy of ±0.2°C from -40°C to 200°C. The model numbers indicate thermocouple type and lead length or termination style. Availability may vary, and 3G Electric can source additional SKUs from the Rubberfab line upon request. For current stock and lead times, contact 3G Electric with your required part number and quantity.
How do I select the right Rubberfab thermocouple for my application?
Selection of a Rubberfab thermocouple depends on several factors: thermocouple type (K or T), temperature range, accuracy requirements, and physical compatibility with the installation. The ACC series offers a range of -200°C to 1,370°C with ±0.2°C accuracy from -40°C to 200°C. Type K is generally used for higher temperatures and oxidizing atmospheres, while Type T is often preferred for lower temperatures and reducing atmospheres. You must also consider the probe length, diameter, and connection head to match your thermowell or mounting. 3G Electric can assist in cross-referencing part numbers and confirming specifications for your process conditions.
