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.
