Title: Auber EGT
Post by: bootlegdsm on May 23, 2011, 07:12:18 pm

I don't want to beat the EGT horse anymore. I just would like to know if I should buy the sealed or exposed probe. I'm set on the gauge, just iffy on the probe. Thanks

I think I have their sealed probe, but the one that is low mass.
works great!

I only saw the 2, one was sealed the other was exposed... I didn't see anything about a low mass one.

hmmm, not listed anymore...

they used to have a k-type EGT probe that was listed for fast response.

you could use the low mass thermocouple that aircraft-spruce sells.

I'm thinking maybe the exposed tip would register a little faster. Do you have a link for the aircraft spruce one you are talking about?

What color LED did you get and is it easy to see in the daytime?

Thanks for the reply:)

I have the red gauge, its easy to read in all but the most direct sunlight.

the exposed tip will certainly react faster.

Part number - 10-01478
I believe this is the one I have and is the most popular choice for most people on here.
When compaired to my 1/4" autometer probe, this thing reacts light years faster. ;D
