4.3 Warning
The
The probe tip is made of silicone rubber. Although silicone is resistant to a large number of chemical aggressors, strong acids or alkali may damage it, especially at high temperature and/or if used for extended periods of time. Warning: Solvents and fuel oils can cause problems for silicone rubber.
Omega also manufactures probes that have their tips made of epoxy. Just like silicone, epoxy resin is resistant to a large number of chemical aggressors, strong acids or alkali may damage it, especially at high temperature and/or if used for extended periods of time.
Contact your distributor for additional chemical compatibility information.
Do not expose your probes to temperatures that are higher than specified. Permanent damage can be caused to probes that have been exposed to temperatures that are higher than their limits.
