Ultra Fine IT-Series Flexible Microprobe IT-24P - Tiny, 24 gauge polyurethane coated wire with polyester insulated thermocouple bead. For research applications to measure temperature in animal brains and other tissue. Fairly fragile, but very fast responding. Wire cross selection 0.127 mm x 0.0635 mm (.005 " × .0025 "). Insulated tip maximum outside diameter 0.229 mm (.009 "). Length 91.5 cm (36 ") supplied on a protective spool as shown. Time constant .004 s. Maximum temperature 70 °C. Sterilization by Gas (ETO). |
Time constant is defined as the time required to reach 63 % of final temperature in liquid. An accurate reading is obtained when the reading stops changing, typically 5-10 time constants.
Maximum Temperature refers to intermittent use of a probe. When probe is used for continuous measurements, max. temp. should be reduced by 25 % unless specified.
