Rated 1 out of 5 by gewissler from adhesive did not stick to stainless steel poor adhesive. Did not stick to cleaned stainless steel surfaces. Had to apply anothe layer of fiberglass high heat tape to get them to stay in place.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Self-adhesive thermocouples This tc serves its purpose well! Easy to install but you have to be very careful not to damage it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Unlikely future customer from False advertisement - very disappointed Even now you picture shows a thermocouple with a yellow connector at the end. I ordered the parts thinking that it was connectorized, but received the TCs with bare wire. Very disappointed in Omega.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MMTF from Fragile If you want to remove and re-apply these thermocouples don't be surprised if junctions break giving false data. For the first application they work well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Love This Product! Works like a Charm! Need to attach these to a wax surface to go through an investment casting process and study how long the molds take to dry. These self adhesives work fantastic to stick to the mold and I would recommend.

SA3

Self-Adhesive Polyimide Fast Response Surface Thermocouples - High Temp

In the product details, there is a column called "Minimum Temperature Measurement". The result is in inches.....specifically 36in for the device I ordered. What does that mean?

What is the accuracy of these SA3-J-120-SRTC?

What is the accuracy of the SA3-K-SRTC? What is the response time of the SA3-K-SRTC?

are these well insulated electrically, what if these are pasted on high voltage copper bus bars with voltage up to 500V to 1000V are there any other products that for surface mount application that can be used on copper bsubar with 1000V on it.

What is the accuracy of the SA3-K-120 type thermocouple?

1. what is the accuracy of SA3-J-SRTC? 2. what is the response time of SA3-J-SRTC? 2 seconds or 0.3 seconds? Thank you

I want to measure the metal tube surface temperature inside a tube in shell heat exchanger (undergraduate lab). The environment would be steam/water up to about 120 degrees C. Will the SA3 thermocouples function in this environment? Other suggestions?

Can you get this item already attached to a connector for high temperatures?
