CUSTOM MARLOX® THERMOCOUPLES

Molded Transitions and/or Extensions


The Marlox transition is an exclusive development from Marlin Manufacturing Corporation. After the wire extension has been spliced to the sheathed thermocouple wire, the transition is molded with a thermoset compound. This transition exhibits the characteristics of high strength and resistivity and protects the splice against moisture, vibration and mechanical damage and also incorporates a strain relief for the wires that obsoletes springs and adapters. Standard transitions can be used in ambient temperatures to 400°F (205°C). High temperature transitions are available for use in ambient temperature to 800°F (425°C).

EXTENSION TYPES

Marlin Code
 Extension Types
XXX
NONE
MTO
TEFLON INSULATED
260°C (500°F)
MGO
FIBERGLASS INSULATED
482°C (900°F)

NOTES:

  1. For SS Flex Armor Cable over Extension, add "3" to code: e.g. "MG3"
  2. For SS Overbraid over Extension, add "1" to code e.g. "MG1"

    TRANSITIONS

  3. Extensions include transitions for use to 205°C (400°F)
  4. For Hi-Temp transition 425°C (800°F) use "H" to code e.g. "HGO"
  5. For transition "same size" as Sheath O.D. use "E" to code e.g. "EGO"
  6. For "Probe Handle" transition use code "P" e.g. "PT7" (good for 350°F - not available in hi-temp).

Teflon-Teflon: Teflon insulates individual conductors followed by an overall teflon jacket. Superior abrasion and moisture resistance. Resists most acids and vapors. Recommended operating temperature -90°F to 500°F.

Glass-Glass: Glass yarn is applied over each conductor then impregnated with silicone varnish plus both conductors are covered with a braid of glass yarn also with silicone varnish. Fair resistance to abrasion and moisture. Recommended operating temperature to 900°F. Varnish is destroyed above 400°F.

Glass-Glass with Stainless Steel Overbraid: Same as Glass-Glass with added abrasion resistance.

Stainless Steel Armor Tubing: Can be used over any wire extension for added mechanical damage and abrasion resistance.
