(not available for purchase)
The 43408-L is an Aspirated Radiation Shield that is typically used with the 43347 RTD Temperature probe.
The 43408 allows the 43347 to measure temperature with an RMS error of less than ±0.2°C. The shield is made from a white thermoplastic material that provides low thermal conductivity and heat retention.
