- Depending on the thermocouple type and protection tube, it can withstand temperatures up to 1260°C (2300°F).
- Available with Threaded or Flanged Process Connection for easy installation.
- Protection tubes available in different materials for high temp oxidation resistance, Ceramic (Alumina, Mullite,Silicon Carbide, Hoxoloy®) for Extreme heat resistance.
Application Note
TC101-Base Metal thermocouple Assembly with Mounting Sleeve Protection Tube , In metal processing plants, heat treatment furnaces, cement and glass production, as well as chemical and petrochemical facilities, precise temperature measurement is critical for ensuring product quality, process efficiency, and safe operation. These environments often involve extreme heat, corrosive atmospheres, and mechanical stress, which can quickly degrade standard temperature sensors. The TC101 Base Metal Industrial Thermocouple with Protection Tube is specifically designed to meet these challenges. Available in Types J, K, or N, this assembly can withstand temperatures up to 1260°C (2300°F) depending on the protection tube selected. Users can choose from several junction options: a beaded junction for fastest response, a grounded MGO-PAC junction for ruggedness and higher pressure capability, or an ungrounded junction to protect wires from mechanical damage and thermal strain. Protection tubes are available in alumina, mullite, Hoxoloy®, or silicon nitride, offering excellent thermal shock resistance and non-wetting properties—critical for molten aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. Threaded or flanged process connections simplify installation, while optional explosion-proof connection heads (CSA, FM, ATEX, IECEx) ensure safety in hazardous areas. For reliable, long-term temperature monitoring in furnaces, kilns, reactors, and pipelines, the TC101 delivers the durability and accuracy required to optimize performance and prevent costly defects.
