Pyromation R5T185L683R383-05-HTST-1-5-63 Sanitary Thermocouple with 5" Probe

The Pyromation R5T185L683R383-05-HTST-1-5-63 is a specialized sanitary thermocouple designed for precise temperature measurement in hygienic industrial applications, such as high-temperature short-time (HTST) pasteurization processes in the food, dairy, and beverage industries. This model features a robust stainless steel probe with a 5-inch insertion length and a sanitary tri-clamp connection, ensuring compliance with strict cleanliness standards like 3-A sanitary requirements. Key benefits include excellent accuracy, fast response times, and resistance to corrosion in moist or chemical environments, making it ideal for monitoring critical temperatures to maintain product safety and quality. Compared to standard thermocouples, this sanitary version offers superior hygiene and ease of cleaning, reducing contamination risks over non-sanitary alternatives. However, it may have a higher initial cost and is optimized for moderate temperature ranges rather than extreme highs. The unit appears new based on attached images, with no visible wear, intact labeling, and a yellow identification tag. Applications extend to pharmaceutical and biotech processes where sterility is paramount. For detailed specs, refer to Pyromation's official datasheets (e.g., browse Pyromation.com for RTD/thermocouple catalogs; model decoder available in their configuration guides). Note: While labeled as a thermocouple, the code structure closely resembles Pyromation's RTD patterns; confirm with manufacturer for exact type.
