Bayonet temperature probe

The typical plastics industry sensor assembly consists of four components:
• attaching device,
• element,
• element protection,
• cold end termination. The sensor is further defined by its physical attributes:
• number of elements
• junction style (hot end)
• probe configuration (straight, 45°, 90°)
• length of components The following paragraphs provide a brief explanation of each component and physical attribute. After reading this section you should have a general, comprehensive understanding of how sensors for the plastics industry are constructed.
