Compression 245N (25 kgf) / Traction 245N (25 kgf) / Torsion 1.47Nm (15 kgfcm).
RESISTANCE OF CABLE TO TRACTION AND FLEXION
Traction 245N (25 kgf) / Flexion >90° nearby the connector.
SENSOR TIME CONSTANT
The time constant is the time taken for the sensor to reach 63% of the final
reading and is the industry standard means of measuring probe response time.
Five times this figure is normally required to obtain a steady reading.
The results given in this brochure were obtained in an agitate
water/glycol bath and may differ from those obtained under other conditions,
but can be used as a general guide when selecting probes for your requirements.
Note: For probes and instruments we can supply system (instrument
& sensor) calibration certificates or reports referent to SIT / UKAS standard,
for measurements below -40°C/-40°F, if required.
