Thermometer Probe Adapter 14/20 Made of Borosilicate

The 14/20 Thermometer Probe Adapter is a borosilicate laboratory glass accessory for introducing a compatible thermometer or temperature probe through apparatus using a 14/20 ground-glass connection. It provides an interface between the sensing instrument and matching laboratory glassware without requiring the probe itself to have a ground-glass joint.

The 14/20 taper designation is the key compatibility specification. Verify the receiving joint before ordering or assembly, because 14/20 and larger standards such as 24/40 are not directly interchangeable. Probe diameter and the adapter's probe-retention arrangement should also be checked for the specific sensing instrument being used.

A 14/20 Thermometer Probe Adapter helps position a sensing device but does not determine measurement accuracy. Temperature accuracy, response time, insertion depth, and operating range depend on the thermometer or electronic probe, its calibration, placement in the apparatus, and process conditions. Follow the sensor manufacturer's instructions and temperature limits.

Before use, inspect the glass adapter and ground joint for chips, cracks, deep scratches, impact damage, or damaged sealing surfaces. Do not force the adapter into an incompatible joint or overtighten a probe-retention component. Support connected apparatus where necessary so the glass joint is not carrying excessive mechanical load, and avoid inappropriate thermal shock.

The 14/20 Thermometer Probe Adapter is a compact connection option for compatible temperature-monitoring setups. Browse additional probe adapters, thermowells, and laboratory glassware in our Borosilicate Glass Laboratory Equipment collection.
