Complete Your
Thermocouple Assembly. A
complete selection of OMEGA®
ceramic protection tubes and
compatible wells are available.
OMEGA® ceramic-insulated
thermocouples are easy-to-use precise
temperature elements manufactured to
meet the highest industry standards.
The Nextel ceramic insulation is rated
for 1200°C (2200°F) continuous use,
or 1425°C (2600°F) short term. These
highly versatile elements are ideal for
many high-temperature applications. If
requested, OMEGA can combine these
elements with thermowells and industrial
heads to produce a complete head and
well assembly, available for fast delivery.
Available in 3 wire sizes, 14, 20, and
gage, the standard element configuration
is 300 mm (12") long, with a general
purpose welded bead, an exposedjunction thermocouple, plus a 13 mm
(0.5") stripped end termination.

To order longer elements, change “-12” to indicate actual length required. Temperature limitation is by type of thermocouple material selected.
For a male straight M8 plug add “M8-S-M” to the model number for an additional cost, for a male straight M12 plug add “M12-S-M” to the
model number for an additional cost. For a male right-angled M8 plug add “M8-R-M” to the model number for an additional cost, for a male
right-angled M12 plug add “M12-S-M” to the model number for an additional cost.
Note: Available with silica insulation. Change the “XC” to “XS”, no additional cost.
