 ASPTC-L
Aspirated Thermocouple


The ASPTC is a white, elongated radiation shield that reduces solar loading on a thermocouple by drawing air across the measurement junction with a fan. The radiation shield also protects the sensor, increasing its durability.

Typically, one ASPTC is mounted to each sensor arm in a Bowen ratio system. One ASPTC can either replace, or be measured in addition to, TCBR thermocouples. In a standard configuration, lead lengths of 15 feet are recommended for both signal and power cables.

Features
  • Uses fine wire thermocouple for highly accurate air temperature measurements
  • Includes aspirated radiation shield
  • Solar loading on thermocouple reduced by drawing air across the measurement junction with a high-powered fan
  • Intake velocity is 5.5 m/sec
  • Fan requires 12 Vdc power supply
  • Fan average active current drain is 142 mA
 
   
 FW1
Fine Wire Thermocouple


The FW1 Fine Wire Thermocouple is typically used to measure atmospheric temperature gradients or fluctuations. The small mass of the thermocouple is less susceptible to solar loading; therefore, a radiation shield is not required. One differential analog input per sensor is required.

Features
  • FW1 has a 0.001 inch diameter
  • Extremely small diameters virtually eliminate solar loading
  • Type E thermocouples—typical output is 60 uV/°C
  • Typically used to measure atmospheric temperature flux with research-grade accuracy
  • Shipping/transport requires TCBR/ENC (capacity=4)
 
   
 FW05
Type E Fine Wire TC, 0.0005" Diameter


The FW05 Fine Wire Thermocouple is typically used to measure atmospheric temperature gradients or fluctuations. The small mass of the thermocouples is less susceptible to solar loading; therefore, a radiation shield is not required. One differential analog input per sensor is required.

Features
  • FW05 has a 0.0005 inch diameter
  • Extremely small diameters virtually eliminate solar loading
  • Type E thermocouples—typical output is 60 uV/°C
  • Typically used to measure atmospheric temperature flux with research-grade accuracy
  • Shipping/transport requires TCBR/ENC (capacity=4)
 
   
 FW3
Type E Fine Wire TC, 0.003" Diameter


The FW3 Fine Wire Thermocouple is typically used to measure atmospheric temperature gradients or fluctuations. The small mass of the thermocouple is less susceptible to solar loading; therefore, a radiation shield is not required. One differential analog input per sensor is required.

Features
  • FW3 has a 0.003 inch diameter
  • Extremely small diameters virtually eliminate solar loading
  • Type E thermocouples—typical output is 60 uV/°C
  • Typically used to measure atmospheric temperature flux with research-grade accuracy
  • Shipping/transport requires TCBR/ENC (capacity=4)
 
   
 TCAV-L
Averaging Soil Thermocouple Probe


The TCAV is used to determine soil temperature. It consists of four thermocouple junctions. The probe averages 2 point temperature measurements of the top 6-8 cm of soil at each of two locations separated by up to 1 m (i.e., 2 junctions @ two depths).

Features
  • Type E thermocouple (chromel-constantan) probe
  • Averages two soil temperature measurements within small vertical/horizontal area
  • 2 x 2 thermocouple configuration (4 junctions total)
  • Typically used in conjunction with soil heat flux plates
  • 50 foot lead is recommended
 
   
 105T-L
Type T Thermocouple Probe


The 105T is a general purpose, 24 gage, shielded, type T thermocouple suitable for use in soil temperature measurement or similar applications. The thermocouple junction is electrically isolated from the media being measured, thereby avoiding measurement errors due to differences in ground potential.

Features
  • Thermocouple probe suitable for burial
