Measuring -40 to 250°F (-40 to 121°C), this immersion temperature sensor uses a 1000 Ω nickel RTD element. In addition, its 1/4" (6.35 mm) probe inserts 4" (101.6 mm) through a welded 304 stainless steel thermowell and terminates in a galvanized steel NEMA 1 enclosure. It suits boiler, chiller and pump water temperature monitoring.

The ACI Nickel Immersion Series features a 1/4" diameter stainless steel probe with two, 14" 22 AWG Etched Teflon colored lead wires to differentiate the many different sensor types. The sensors in this series are manufactured using ACI’s proven double encapsulation process to eliminate the effects of moisture upon the sensors and to increase the thermal response times using our high quality, thermally conductive epoxy.
The immersion sensors come standard with a welded thermowell “-I” version but can also be ordered without the thermowell “-INW” version. The “-INW” Version includes a standard 1/2" NPS (National Pipe Straight) process thread to be used with an optional machined thermowell or in an existing thermowell application.
This series can be ordered with optional NEMA rated weather proof enclosures and NIST Certificates as referenced on the back of the product data sheet. Please contact ACI for more information regarding this sensor or if you would like to discuss your application in further detail.
