Practical FAQs for Engineers

What is the difference between M10x1 and 3/8-24 UNF threads?

M10x1 is a metric thread, common in Europe and globally. 3/8-24 UNF is an imperial thread. You must match the probe thread to your housing’s thread type.

Can this probe be used in Zone 0 hazardous areas?

Yes, but only when installed with the correct intrinsically safe (ia) zener barriers as per the system drawing. The probe itself carries the necessary component certification.

What does the “-05” approval option include?

The “-05” suffix means the probe is certified by CSA (Canada/USA), ATEX (Europe), and IECEx (International). This covers most global hazardous area requirements.

What is a common mistake with M10 thread installation?

Exceeding the 15 mm maximum thread engagement. This can damage the probe or housing. Always measure engagement depth before final tightening.

How do I order this probe for a very high-temperature application?

This standard model is rated to 177°C. For higher temperatures up to 218°C, you need to select the Extended Temperature Range (ETR) version. Contact us to specify.
