Refractory brick stopper

The refractory brick lining bottom face of a conventional 24/7 temperature monitoring technology must be even and flat before a hole can be drilled and a model TC82/TC83 Calitum ® high-temperature thermocouple can be inserted. During installation of the refractory brick lining it's possible that excess material e.g. glue or brick gets into the process nozzle.

Any excess of glue or brick at the bottom of the process nozzle causes the face to be irregular. Furthermore, a contact surface that is not flat can lead to an off-centre and inclined position of the bore.

The refractory brick stopper produces a smooth flat bottom face which allows an accurate and straight drill which is on the centre line of the process nozzle.

The primary protection tube is supported by the top face of the newly installed refractory brick. This makes sure that this protection tube can be installed into an accurate and correct position. It will be located on the centre line of the process nozzle. This also guarantees the correct distance to the process flange sealing face.
