Probe Technical Specifications

The EffecTech cryostat has the following requirements for the probe:

  • Minimum probe length is 29 inches / 73.66cm.
  • Probe diameter must be 1 inch / 2.54cm.

A KF-50 to compression fitting is connected to the probe to ensure that 27 inches (68.58cm) of the probe length is achieved.
