| G-GROUNDED JUCTION |
The conductors and sheath material are simultaneously cap welded. This precess forms a measuring junction which is an integral part of the end cap and electrically grounded to the sheath. The most common junction style, grounded junctions protect the thermocouple conductors from contamination and offer fast response times.

| R-REMOTE OR UNDERGROUND JUCTION |
The conductors are the first junction welded together. Prior to cap welding the sheath the junction is convered with insulating material to insulate it from the sheath and end cap. Remote juctions protect the thermocouple conductors from both contamination and outside electrical interference. The are used whenever electrical isolation of the element is desireable.

|
| E-EXPOSED JUCTION |
The sheath material is stripped back slightly and the conductors are welded together to form a measuring junction. The exposed insulation is sealed against moisture penetration. Exposed junctions provide the fastest possible response times but offer no protection to the thermocouple's conductors.

| *When ordering dual element remote or exposed junctions a "C" indicates common junction (all four conductors welded together forming a common junction); an "S" indicates seperate junctions (each thermocouple element independently junctioned and isolated from each other). |
