Go Direct® Thermocouple - Go Direct Thermocouple (with wire)

Description Designed to be used as you would use a thermometer for experiments such as the recrystallization of benzoic acid, simple and fractional distillations, determination of boiling points, the synthesis and analysis of aspirin and other organic compounds, and more. Range of –20 to 330°C allows for investigations such as determining the melting point of caffeine or the boiling point of different vegetable oils RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) technology establishes a ±0.5°C accuracy. Rechargeable Battery—Ready When You Are The robust rechargeable battery offers long battery life and provides always-ready operation when using the sensor wirelessly. Monitor battery life directly from our free Graphical Analysis™ 4 app or LabQuest 2 App. Should the battery run low, simply connect the sensor to the charging cable and keep on collecting—no interruptions or inconvenience to you or your students. Wired or Wireless—The Flexibility to Choose Our Go Direct sensors connect directly to your mobile device, Chromebook™, or computer using our free Graphical Analysis™ 4 app—no additional equipment or software purchases are necessary. Go Direct sensors can be used wired via USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth® wireless technology, allowing you to choose the solution best for your classroom or laboratory.  Specifications Range: –20 to 330°C Maximum temperature that the sensor can tolerate without damage: 380°C Temperature detector: Platinum RTD (100 Ohm) Accuracy: ±0.2°C at 100°C Response time (from 25°C to 100°C in water): 30 seconds Probe dimensions: Probe length (handle plus body): 24.5 cm Stainless steel body: Length: 17 cm Diameter: 6.4 mm Probe handle: Length: 6.8 cm Width: 2.25 cm Thickness: 1.3 cm Connections: Wireless: Bluetooth Wired: USB

A simple and rugged sensor designed to measure temperature in the range of –200ºC to 1400ºC. Low cost and a wide temperature range make the Thermocouple an economical, versatile temperature sensor. This sensor uses type-K thermocouple wire to and can be used to measure flame temperatures as high as 1400˚C, or liquid nitrogen temperatures at -196˚C. The Thermocouple has an internal ice-point compensation chip, so you do not need to place a reference wire in an ice-water bath. You can simply use one measuring lead to take temperature readings. Each Thermocouple is individually calibrated. Typical Accuracy:0ºC to 900ºC: ±2.2º–200ºC to 0ºC: ±5ºC900ºC to 1400ºC: ±15ºC Typical Resolution:0.40ºC User manual

Use Go Direct Thermocouple Amplifier to collect data from K, J, or T type thermocouple wires (not included). Used in conjunction with our K-type wire, it can measure temperature in the range of –200°C to 1400°C and can be used for any of the following experiments: Study how the temperature inside a Bunsen burner flame varies with position. Compare the temperatures of different flames (candles vs. Bunsen burner). Check the calibration of ovens. Experimentally determine the melting point of copper, bismuth, or other solids. Measure the temperature of dry ice or liquid air. Note: Vernier products are designed for educational use.
