Brea,
CA, April 7, 2005 —Fieldpiece Instruments introduces a new thermocouple,
ATC1, for the field service technician. Designed for easier, more accurate
pipe temperature measurement readings than conventional styles, the new thermocouple
works with Fieldpiece’s temperature accessory heads, superheat accessory
heads, or other temperature instruments that use K-type thermocouples. It
can read temperatures up to 400°F.
The thermocouples' clamp-on design allows the technician to fit it directly
on the sides of the pipe for easy attachment. The ATC1 is a pipe clamp thermocouple
accessory that features a maximum 1 3/8” jaw opening, enabling easy
access to virtually any location needed.
“The ATC1 was designed primarily to make taking suction line temperatures
easier,” said Rey Harju of Fieldpiece. “Just clamp it on for a
solid thermal connection to the suction line.”
The ATC1 can easily facilitate taking a superheat orsubcooling
measurement on most residential and commercial refrigeration appliances or
air conditioners. Because of its unique design, it can even be used to take
the temperature measurements of pipes that are up against walls or other surfaces.
Because the clamp has a very strong spring, it will stay put in virtually
any pipe orientation including vertical pipes.

The ATC1 is available immediately and priced at $49. Fieldpiece offers a wide
variety of other K-type thermocouples for field service technicians for measuring
gases, surfaces, fluids and semi-solids.
Fieldpiece products are sold exclusively through authorized Fieldpiece distributors.
