High-temperature thermocouple
Description
This high-temperature thermocouple has been specifically developed for use in hazardous applications. A protection tube made from high-temperature ceramic or silicon-carbide, with or without an additional inner tube, protects the thermocouple from the process medium as well as mechanical damage.
For particularly critical applications as e.g. sulphur recovery units, we offer designs with purge gas connection, to prevent the thermocouple by poisoning by the aggressive process atmosphere.
For further approvals, see page 8
High-temperature thermocouple with purge system, model TC82-F
Hermetically sealed junctions prevent toxic gases from being able to escape the reactor. The high temperatures in the process place very high demands on protection tubes and thermocouples. These process conditions often lead to shutdowns and interruptions in operation. The special design of this Ex-approved high-temperature thermometer can significantly improve life expectancy of the thermocouple and reduce downtime.
Special features
- Flushing connection to prolong the life of the thermocouple (selectable)
- Increased safety against escape of toxic media through double sealing system
- High variance of thermowell / protection tube materials
- Available with temperature transmitter or field transmitter
- High process safety with processes up to 1,700 °C [3,092 °F]
