VA Series Model References

The four Type K references from the existing page are retained below, alongside the corresponding Type E references. The final ordering code also specifies the cable and connector.

Type K referenceType E reference
VA-03K-01 VA-03E-01
VA-04K-01 VA-04E-01
VA-05K-01 VA-05E-01
VA-06K-01 VA-06E-01

Selecting the Right VA Probe

  • Pipe dimensions: Send the outside diameter and a photograph or drawing of the measurement point so the clip fit can be checked.
  • Temperature: State the normal operating temperature and any expected minimum or maximum temperatures.
  • Access: Describe the space around the pipe and the cable length needed to reach the instrument.
  • Instrument: Provide the thermometer or data logger model to confirm the thermocouple type and connector.
  • Replacement: Include the full code from the existing probe label when requesting a matching unit.

This is a surface measurement. The reading should not automatically be treated as the temperature of the fluid inside the pipe; the relationship depends on the pipe and operating conditions.
