Palmer Wahl dipstick | Dipstick Meter Systems for Molten Metals | Type S and Type K
Palmer Wahl dipstick meter systems measure ferrous and non-ferrous molten metals such as iron, steel, gold, brass, bronze and aluminium, and enclosures including furnaces, stacks and ovens. TC840 models use Type S thermocouples to 3200 °F / 1770 °C with expendable quartz tips; TC850 models use Type K to 2500 °F / 1370 °C for non-ferrous metals with a reusable 10693 chrome tip. Lance length, tip bend and °F or °C scale are chosen by model.
Key features
- Stable readings in 6 to 8 seconds
- System accuracy: greater of ±0.3 °F or ±0.5% of reading (typically ±11 °F at molten metal temperatures)
- Lance lengths of 48, 55, 60 or 72 in; straight, 45° or 90° bend
- Microcomputer-calculated peak hold; 1 °F/°C resolution
- TC840 supplied with one RTC832 tip; RTC832, RTC832S or RTC832SCL tips fit
- NIST calibration available
