A Mineral insulated, metal sheathed Thermocouple or Thermocouple element insulated with re-crystallized alumina tube fitted into the terminal head & provided with or without head extension, a support tube & re-crystallized Alumina protecting tube covered with another ceramic or metal tube would form a typical assembly for temperature measurements of furnaces, combustion chambers,recuperators & similar applications. The closed end Protecting Tube normally employed is re-crystallized Alumina Type 710 containing 99.7% Aluminum oxide & confirming to Type 799 as per DIN VDE 0335 & can be used for temperatures upto 1700 degC. These tubes are impervious & are fixed to metallic support tube by means of ceramic to metal cement. The low cost option is Pythagoras Tubes,
Type 610 containing approximately 60% Aluminum Oxide as per DIN
VDE 0335 & can be used for temperatures upto 1400 deg C. The standard
execution is with plated CS extension & Aluminum head with conduit
entry of 1/2"NPT.
