OMEGA brings you the Super

Innovation

OMEGACLAD® XL Thermocouple
Probe family, the exclusive
innovation in thermocouple technology.
Manufactured using state-of-the-art processes for
mineral insulated (MI) thermocouple cable and
finished thermocouple probe assemblies, these
temperature sensors maximize performance, even
at extremely small diameters. The devices resist
carburization, oxidation, and chlorination in tough
environments.

Small Size, Big Performance!

continuously for 52 days at 1204°C (2200°F) while
competitors’ 0.125" Inconel® 600 sheathed, Type K

Long Life, Low Maintenance!

If your application operates at the punishing
temperature of nearly 1204°C (2200°F),
changing out failed thermocouples costs
money in excessive maintenance, slows or
cuts production, and can cause inconsistent
product quality.

In head-to-head tests, Super OMEGACLAD
XL Thermocouple probes consistently post
the best performance results. Our innovative
temperature sensors last upwards of 10 times
or longer when compared to competitors’

600 sheathed probes of equal or
larger diameters. Let OMEGA’s leading edge
products help engineer your next innovation!

Super OMEGACLAD® XL thermocouple probes in its Class
10 clean rooms to monitor critical process temperatures and
achieve consistent, high-quality products.

Low Drift, Reliable Temperatures!

Super OMEGACLAD® XL’s low-drift characteristic
ensures reliability of temperature readings longer
than any other brand or sheath material. Within
15 weeks, Brands A, B, and C exhibited more than

8.3°C drift. At 25 weeks, OMEGACLAD® XL’s drift
was less than 2.8°C.*
