The LEITENBERGER Type 7c probe is a high-quality measuring instrument manufactured in Germany (quality made in Germany), specifically designed for industrial and refrigeration technology applications. This robustly designed probe is the ideal choice for systems requiring reliable and precise temperature measurement, especially when in contact with pressurized media.
The Type 7c probe is a fundamental component of temperature sensing systems, designed to fit precisely into the corresponding protective tubes (thermowells), ensuring temperature measurement taking into account the pressure and condition of the medium in the system.
The main advantage of the Type 7c probe lies in its durability and precise fit, especially in the brass version.
Robust Design: The design of the probe guarantees a long service life and reliable operation even under harsh operating conditions.
Excellent Compatibility: Optimized specifically for use with protection tube (thermowell) number 8.
Precise Fixation: The threaded connection ensures a leak-free and stable mounting at the measurement point.
German Quality: The „Made in Germany” quality guarantee refers to precision manufacturing and reliability.
The technical characteristics of the Type 7c probe ensure accurate and reliable performance across various applications.

The LEITENBERGER Type 7c probe is a special sensing element designed for temperature measurement where the probe must be placed directly into the medium being tested, often under pressure. The probe's design serves to protect the temperature sensing element (e.g., bimetallic or resistance sensor) while ensuring fast and accurate heat transfer from the measuring point.
The standard Type 7c probe is made of brass, which provides excellent corrosion resistance against many media, especially refrigerants and water-based systems. The 8.5 mm diameter and the M 10×1 threaded connection ensure a tight fit in the appropriate sockets.
The sensor is always installed through a suitable protection tube (in this case, the Type 8 sheath). This protection tube is crucial because:
Pressure Resistance: It allows the sensor to be installed in high-pressure systems without the measuring element being directly exposed to the pressure.
Easy Maintenance: The sensor can be replaced or calibrated without removing the protection tube from the system (after depressurizing the system), which minimizes downtime.
Chemical Protection: It protects the sensing element from corrosive or contaminating media.
The Type 7c sensor is an ideal addition to LEITENBERGER's wide product range, especially in the following areas:
Refrigeration technology: Monitoring the temperature of coolants (synthetic and natural) in compressors, condensers, and evaporators.
Industrial Measurement and Control Technology: General temperature measurement in process control systems where a reliable, mechanical-based solution is required.
Solar Energy Systems: Monitoring the temperature of heat transfer fluids circulating in solar systems (in conjunction with appropriate solar pumps).
For the optimal operation of the Type 7c sensor and for completing the entire measurement chain, the following accessory products are also available, which customers frequently use together:
Stainless Steel Capillary (V-Stahl – Bare Stainless Steel): Provides greater mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance for the capillary line.
Copper Capillaries (Single or Double Braid): More flexible connection between the sensor and the measuring instrument, reinforced with copper braiding to increase durability.
PVC Coated Copper Capillary: Especially suitable for environments where the capillary requires external mechanical or moisture protection.
The LEITENBERGER Type 7c sensor is a combination of precision, reliability, and German engineering, ensuring that critical temperature data is always accurately available.
