88012K Round Face Thermocouple Handle Probes for Stationary Surfaces
Unique Roundface Surface Probes
Supported Applications
The Omega Series 88000 Round Face Thermocouple Handle Probes are designed for measuring surface temperatures of various materials. Documented applications include pipes, plates, walls, molds, dies, and stationary surfaces.
Operating Conditions & Performance
All probes in this series meet the Standard Limits of Error. Measurement capabilities vary by model:
• Temperature Range (Lower): 250°C (480°F)
• Temperature Range (Higher): 480°C (900°F)
A note in the documentation states that probes are not designed for long-term exposure to high temperature, specifically citing models 88011, 88002, and 88001. The probe diameter is listed as 12.5 mm (1/2 in) for specific configurations.
Calibration Types
The series supports the following thermocouple calibrations:
• K: CHROMEGA™-ALOMEGA™
• E: CHROMEGA™-Constantan
Configuration Options
The Series 88000 is available in various configurations, including straight, right-angle, pencil-type, and swivel designs. These variants feature different sensing element orientations and protective guards.
• Housing Material: Black plastic (as shown in images)
• Electrical Connection: Molded SMP or SMPW subminiature male connector
• Replacement Elements: Available separately for most models; ordered using specific replacement part numbers.
• Accessories: TAS adaptor (sold separately)
Detailed dimensions vary by model and are provided in drawings on pages 3-5 of the source documentation, with units listed as mm (in).
Key Product Differences
The series includes distinct models within Series 88000, Series 88100, and Series 98000. Specific model variations include:
• Micro-sensor elements: Model 88012 features micro-sensor elements that are not replaceable due to compact size.
• Replacement availability: Replacement parts are available for models including 88001, 88002, 88003, 88011, 88012 (with noted exception), 88101, 88102, 88103, and 88105.
• Connector Standards: Variants are offered with ANSI or IEC connector configurations (e.g., -IEC suffix).
