Ordering Information
1. For Bulk MegopaK Material, select
model number from Table 1, and
specify length in inches. Longest
length available depends on sheath
diameter. Example: 2T1 Ml 5-60 =
Type T with 316 SS sheath 1.6 mm
(0.063) diameter and 60 inches
long.
TABLE I - MEGOPAK BULK MATERIAL
2. For Thermocouple Elements,
select model number from Table I
followed by a letter selection from
Table II plus desired length equal to
the specified length plus 2 inches (51
mm) of exposed bare thermocouple
wire.
Example: 2K3M22-R48 = Type K
with Inconel sheath 4.8 mm (0.1 88)
diameter, remote junction and 48
inches long.
3. For Assemblies, select model
number from Table I followed by a let-
ter selection from Table II plus
desired length of element in inches
and the cold end termination
designation from Table Ill. If mounting
attachments and wire extension ter-
minations are needed, make selec-
tions from Tables IV and V. Select the
required length of insulated extension
wire in inches from Table VI.
Example: 2J1Ml5-G24-9S-D12-
3W2J36 = Type J with 316 SS
sheath 1.6 mm (0.063) diameter in-
tegral junction, 24 inch sheath
length, 12-inch wire extension length,
316 SS compression fitting, 20 gauge
insulated extension wire with fibre-
glass insulation, QuiK-Konnect jack
termination on extension wire.

Description
Junction welded to tip of sheath provides faster response time
than Type R junction.
Sheath end is left open. Wires are welded and exposed for a
length of one sheath diameter. Sheath end is sealed with cement.
Seal is effective up to 538C (1OOOF).
R*
Junction is insulated from sheath.
*Add length in inches.
