I have an NTC Temperature Sensor thermistor connected to a PID Temperature Controller. The main use of this controller is to control the temperature of chemicals in a reactor.
Due to the environment of the chemicals in the reactor (low and high pH, acids, vacuum etc.) I want to insulate the probe of the thermistor.
Does anybody know a way to perform such an insulation?
Put it inside a silicone tube, fold the tube in half, make sure the open ends are outside the chemical reactor.
If you're working in a chemically harsh environment, you might want to consider acquiring a thermistor rated for those environments such as this one:
It would be far easier, and save you time, money, and headaches. Otherwise, you're not just re-inventing the wheel, but now looking into stainless steel enclosures or ceramic coatings, which cost many tens of times more than the thermistor itself...
