A-505
thermal compound improves thermal transfer and
prevents condensation from forming within A-500
thermowells. This compound is a synthetic, ester-based
white homogeneous paste filled with heat conductive
metal oxides. It provides efficient
thermal conductivity with negligible bleed and
evaporation
loss
at
even the highest working temperatures.
A-505
thermal compound exhibits no particle migration, fluid
separation, or hardening.
Unlike
silver oxide thermal compounds that can react
with the temperature sensor probe in the presence of
contaminants, A-505 thermal compound is totally inert
and does not exhibit catalytic
behavior between the probe material and the thermowell.
The compound has a specific gravity of
2.9 at 77°F, a service temperature of -40°F
to 392°F, and its thermal conductivity exceeds
19.0 x 10-4 (calories/cm2/°C/sec/cm).
We
offer A-505 thermal compound in conveniently
packaged 1 oz. syringes, and we strongly recommend using
it with our A-500 thermowells.
