I sent you a PM about the thermocouple/adaptor.I'll be selling it since I now use my Elektra T1 daily.

Ok Eric.
mhoy, thanks for the pic.
While studying the pic, a question arose.
That looks different from Eric's. It looks like a standard compression fitting without threads, but then a M6, 1mm screw that has been bored out of course, and then inserted and anchored in place into the compression fitting.
IOW's, it looks like two separate pieces, a compression fitting and a M6, 1mm screw.
Mark, can you look up in and see if it is indeed two separate items, (i.e. if it is indeed a separate screw anchored into the compression fitting)?
That might be an option for a rig.
Just order a $6 brass or $15 SS OmegaLok, non threaded and anchor in (by brazing or JB Weld) a bored out screw.
Thanks.

They are two separate Swaglok brass pieces (with the tiniest writing I've had to read in a while).ciaocaffe wrote: That looks different from Eric's.

The Omega part is a T thermocouple with an very hard to read serial number that is close but probably not: P06C?5?T4EZ with the ? being a 3 or 8 or ??

The picture that Mark shows is my original 1/16" brass adaptor (SSS-02) with an Omega TTSS-116G-2.125 thermocouple.
Subsequent adaptors had their external dimensions modified to enable proper fitment into Vibiemme machines. 1/16" adaptors for E-61 machines are no longer stocked as the 1/8" adaptors provide identical performance (theoretically they shouldn't) and allow me to offer ONE adaptor for both thermocouples and the digital thermometer.
All repair parts for the 1/16" adaptors are stocked and the particular one that Mark pictures needs a new copper washer and a set of ferrules.

Thanks Eric for all the clarification of this stuff.
Can get confusing at times.
Just one quick ? Re your last reply:
Ok, so I gather 1/8" diameter digital thermometers are quite the norm out there, yes?
And that we can find 1/8" diameter thermocouple probes quite ok as well?
If so, yes, I could see that as the best of both worlds.
I would shoot first for a meter and TC, but if it didn't work out, it'd be nice to go to a digital thermometer at the fiting (like the other kit you sell and what CC sells) without having to get a new adapter or without drilling it out like would need be with a 1/16" fitting.
So is all that correct?
Just one more thing, I searched the net some; do you know of another source for TC's other than Omega?
Thanks again.

No digital thermometer that I am aware of is available with a diamter of 1/8" and I have done the search. All of this info is described in further detail on my crude FTP site: http://users.rcn.com/erics/. The probe on my digital thermometer is custom manufactured for me.Ok, so I gather 1/8" diameter digital thermometers are quite the norm out there, yes?
1/8" diameter thermocouples are available from any number of sources, Omega being just one. A "google" search using the keyword "thermocouples" would be your best bet for alternative suppliers but Omega seems to offer the best combination of desired traits.

Ah, ok, I finally get it!
I missed the part about your 1/8" digital thermometers being specially made for you.
Well, I see you only have in stock the 1/8", so not much of a choice anyway.
Most likely would stick with TC and meter setup so that's fine.
Thanks.

Thanks for the help Eric, as always you're a huge source of information. It's surprising the thermal lag of the 1/8" probe matches that of the 1/16" probe. Sure glad the HB gang have created a trail the rest of us can follow.erics wrote:The picture that Mark shows is my original 1/16" brass adaptor (SSS-02) with an Omega TTSS-116G-2.125 thermocouple.

Omega has links to graphs for Air & Water Thermocouple Time Constants on their most informative Thermocouples page.
