and Resistance Thermometer assemblies with
A
Twin Protecting Tube.
Flameproof
or weatherproof execution in 316SS or Aluminum.
Metallic
support tube with fixed or adjustable flange.
Available
with "in head" 2-wire Temperature Transmitter.
A
Mineral insulated, metal sheathed Thermocouple or a Thermocouple
element insulated with re-crystallized alumina tube fitted into
a 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 & conforming
to Type 799 as per DIN VDE 0335 & can be used for temperatures
upto 1700 deg C. 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 as shown in this leaflet
is with plated CS extension & Aluminum head with conduit entry
of 1/2"NPT.
The
Thermocouple wire size when used as a beaded Thermocouple is 24
AWG (0.51mm) for type R, S & 'B' &14 AWG for all
base metal Thermocouples.
