The CT²C Continuous Thermocouple is a slender (.120 inch, 3.0 mm dia.) heat-seeking thermocouple. It's physically tough, chemically resistant Inconel™ sheath makes CT²C the best choice for hazardous environments from –40°F (-40°C) up to 1500°F (816°C).

Like all Continuous Thermocouples, CT²C is a self-generating, self-restoring, intrinsically safe thermocouple that is compatible with many standard thermocouple instruments. CT²C can measure the maximum temperature existing anywhere along its entire length, then track the increase, even if the location of the "hot spot" changes.

Since the first Continuous Thermocouple was developed and patented by Xco International in 1983, CT²C has found acceptance around the world as a temperature monitoring and protection device for refractory lined process vessels and a variety of other applications.
