All connections are self-sealing and of quick release design. Steel construction gives excellent long life characteristics with vitreous enamel finish. There are therefore 2 alternatives. The Skid Thermocouple makes contact with the workpiece surface through a spring loaded 'Leaf Type' contact and may be used for recording workpiece temperatures. The infra-red pyrometer is a highly accurate instrument with a 'no workpiece contact' capability and is used for 'in flight' gas turbine monitoring systems.
Portable models are obtainable with digital readout.
