Thermocouples are temperature sensors that generate a voltage directly dependent on temperature. Compared to resistance thermometers, they are particularly suited for high temperatures up to 1,700 °C. Instrument designs from the mineral-insulated sheathed cable are very resistant against extremely high vibration loads (depending on the instrument model, sensor element and wetted materials.
What is a thermocouple including a thermowell?
A thermowell keeps aggressive substances and other harmful influences away from the temperature probe itself. Operating personnel and the environment are thus protected. Thermowell variants are available with flanges, threaded or for welding in. With high-temperature sensors, the thermoelectric wires of the thermocouple are built into the thermowell. Thus, extremely high temperatures can be measured. Instruments for flue gas temperature measurement are suitable for temperature measurement in gaseous media in the low pressure range
What is a thermocouple for additional thermowell?
These thermocouples can be combined with a large number of thermowell designs. Through the individual build-up of connection head, sensor, insertion length, etc., you can have a thermometer suited to each thermowell dimension and each application
What is a thermocouple for direct installation into the process?
These instruments are used whenever a temperature measurement must be made directly in the process. Thermometers without thermowell are suited for all applications where there is no chemically aggressive media and no abrasion
