Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • Triple-Insulated Wires: Reduces electromagnetic interference by 40% compared to dual-wire models.
    • Spiral Sheath Design: Achieves 30% smaller storage footprint than straight sheath alternatives.
    • Pro Model’s ATEX Certification: Enables safe use in explosive environments, exceeding OSHA standards.
  2. Version Selection Guidance:

    • Base Model: Ideal for general industrial use (e.g., food processing ovens) where cost-efficiency is key.
    • Advanced Model: Best for precision applications like semiconductor manufacturing, requiring ±1.0°C accuracy.
    • Pro Model: Suited for extreme environments (e.g., steel forging) where high-temperature stability and safety certifications are critical.

With the Pro Model’s 200°C extended low-end range, you can monitor cryogenic processes. Pair its 3.0mm sheath with chemical-resistant coatings to ensure durability in corrosive settings.
