Pipe-Clamp Thermocouple 3/8” to 1 3/8” for Air Conditioning – TC24
Overview for Fieldpiece TC24
The TC24, K-type, pipe clamp thermocouple is used to take temperatures of pipes or any other cylindrical surface within its 3/8” to 1 3/8” jaw range. Using a pipe clamp thermocouple greatly facilitates taking superheat or subcooling measurements. Use the TC24 for most A/C units. The TC24 can be used with any of our meters that measure temperature and any thermometer accepting a K-type thermocouple. The sensor is virtually isolated from ambient conditions, allowing the thermocouple to read the true pipe temperature for as long as it is attached. The sensor's large surface area and increased clamping force help the sensor reach the correct temperature within 30 seconds. Because the jaw is designed for HVAC/R, its clamping ability lets you measure temperatures of pipes that are fixed, at any angle, to walls or other surfaces.
Accuracy and Speed
Get your pipe temperatures fast. A new sensor gives accurate readings, even in hot and windy conditions. Use the TC24 Pipe Clamp Type K Thermocouple to take temperatures of pipes or any other cylindrical surface between 3/8" and 1 3/8".
The clamping range covers most sizes seen in residential and light commercial cooling systems. Connect to any thermometer with a Type K thermocouple jack.
The sensor is specifically designed for pipe temperature readings. Readings are extremely accurate and fast. Easily measure temperatures of pipes that are fixed, at any angle, to walls or other surfaces.
