Fits pipe surface temperature without drilling where you need a Watlow Style 72 pipe clamp thermocouple with stainless clamp bands covering about 11/16 in to 7 in OD.
Key advantages
- Style — Style 72 pipe clamp thermocouple
- Types — J, K, T, E; grounded junction
- Clamp bands — A–G covering ~11/16 in to 7 in pipe OD
- Temperature — Fiberglass to 480 °C (900 °F); PFA to 260 °C (500 °F)
- Mounting — Stainless clamp; no drilling or tapping
Typical applications
- Pipe surface and heat-trace monitoring.
- Process tracing lines.
- Industrial heat systems without penetration.
Selection guide
- Band size — Match pipe OD (A–G)
- Calibration — J/K/T/E
- Lead protection — Fiberglass/PFA + SS braid
- Terminations — Plugs, spades, BX
Common mistakes
- Wrong band for pipe OD.
- Expecting immersion accuracy from surface clamp.
- Exceeding lead insulation rating.
When to RFQ / what to tell us
- Pipe OD, type, lead length.
- Terminations; quantity; ship-to.
