EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STS 110 KH-L140

Description

The EGE Elektronik Sensor for Explosive Productseries STS 110 KH-L140 is the authoritative choice for heavy industrial applications where explosive risks, extreme heat, and large-scale infrastructure intersect. The “L140” designation provides a 140mm probe length, making it one of the longest sensors in the series. This extra length is essential for reaching through deep mounting nozzles, stand-offs, or the heavy insulation layers common in refineries and chemical plants, ensuring the sensor tip is positioned in the center of the flow profile for maximum accuracy.
