The Fieldpiece ATC1R Type-K Small Pipe Clamp Thermocouple can be used to take temperatures of pipes or any other cylindrical surface within the 1/8 to 3/4 inch jaw range. Using this pipe clamp thermocouple greatly facilitates taking superheat or subcooling measurements and can be used for most refrigeration units. The ATC1R can be used with any of the Fieldpiece meters that measure temperature or any thermometer accepting a Type-K thermocouple.

The sensor of the ATC1R is virtually isolated from ambient conditions, allowing the thermocouple to read the true pipe temperature for as long as it is attached. The sensor’s large surface area and increased clamping force helps the sensor reach the correct temperature within 30 seconds. Due to the jaw being designed specifically for HVACR applications, the clamping ability lets the user measure temperatures of pipes that are fixed, at any angle, to walls, or other surfaces.
