“Cement-On” Thermocouples
U Response Time in Milliseconds
U Made from thin Profile
Thermocouple Wire
U Very Low Thermal Inertia
U Four Calibrations J, K, E, and T OMEGA introduces its CO Series Cement-On, fast
response thermocouples for fast surface temperature
U Four Styles Ideal for Surface
measurement applications in four convenient styles.
Measurement Styles 1, 2 are made from 0.13 mm (0.005") thermocouple
alloy & Style 1-B is made from 0.18 mm (0.008" ) thick
thermocouple alloy by a special process where the butt
welded thermocouple junction are very thin and flat.
Styles 1, 1-B and 2 are flat, extremely low inertia
construction and are an ideal means of measuring the
temperature of both flat and curved metals, plastic and
ceramic surfaces where very fast response is desired.
OMEGA’s Cement-On Style 1, 1-B and 2
thermocouples are fabricated from ANSI “Special Limits
of Error” grade thermocouple materials in K, E and T
calibrations and yield accurate temperature indication
when used with standard thermocouple
instrumentation. Styles 1, 1-B 2 have the
fastest response. Style 3 is an economy
version constructed from 0.25 mm (0.010")
diameter bead welded standard limit of error
thermocouple wire. It should be used where
extremely fast response is not essential.

* The temperature range high limits given are greatly influenced by environmental conditions, installation method, accuracy and
lifetime requirements and may vary from the general guidelines listed in the table.
Style 1 & 1-B and 3 cannot be used with CC High Temperature Cement; CC Cement will break down insulation. Response time
when “grounded” or “cemented” to surface: Style 1 & Style 1-B (150 to 200 milliseconds), Style 2 (2 to 5 milliseconds), Style 3
(300 milliseconds).
The response time or “time constant” is the time required to reach 63.2% of an instantaneous temperature change. Additional length
wire can be ordered for Styles 1 and 3, or CO1-K-B-60 style 1-b, Type K thermocouple, 60 Ordering Example: CO1-K is a style 1,
Type K thermocouple, 1 m (40") long.
