FerroSafe® series thermocouples for Molten Metal application
[00:00:05] Introducing the FerroSafe® series thermocouples, engineered for high-temperature accuracy and built for extreme molten metal environments.
[00:00:17] Designed specifically for the non-ferrous metal industries, this industrial sensor delivers precise temperature measurement where failure is not an option. It comes with various options, including a rugged handle, lead wire, and digital reader.
[00:00:28] At its core is a rugged metal sheath protected by our proprietary ceramic coating. This unique non-wetting layer ensures longer sensor life and reliable performance in direct molten metal contact.
[00:00:37] With a reduced tip for fast-response sensing and a thermal conductive coating for consistent readings, the FerroSafe responds in under 8 seconds—perfect for real-time process control.
[00:00:45] Available in Type K and Type N calibrations and built to ASM, IEC, and ANSI standards, these sensors meet Class 1 and Class 2 accuracy for high-confidence data when it matters most.
[00:01:06] Choose from coated or uncoated versions depending on your application needs, withstanding temperatures up to 900°C or 1600°F.
[00:01:14] FerroSafe: Precision, durability, and performance. Contact us today to learn more or request a quote. Visit our website to find more information.
FerroSafe® series thermocouples for Molten Metal application
[00:05] Présentation des thermocouples de la série FerroSafe®, conçus pour une précision optimale et fabriqués pour des environnements extrêmes de métal en fusion.
[00:13] Conçu spécialement pour les industries des métaux non ferreux, ce capteur industriel fournit une mesure de température précise là où l'échec n'est pas une option. Disponible avec plusieurs options, y compris une poignée ergonomique, un câble de compensation, et un lecteur numérique.
[00:29] Au cœur de ce produit se trouve une gaine métallique robuste protégée par notre revêtement céramique exclusif. Cette couche unique non mouillable garantit une durée de vie prolongée et des performances fiables au contact direct du métal en fusion.
[00:43] Avec une pointe réduite pour une réponse thermique rapide et un revêtement thermiquement conducteur pour des relevés constants, le FerroSafe® réagit en moins de 8 secondes—idéal pour le contrôle des processus en temps réel.
[00:50] Disponible en étalonnage de Type K et Type N, et fabriqué selon les normes ASM, IEC et ANSI. Ces capteurs sont proposés avec des tolérances d'erreurs standard ou spéciales, garantissant des données fiables et précises lorsque la précision est essentielle.
[01:05] Choisissez entre des versions avec ou sans revêtement selon les exigences de votre application, résistant à des températures allant jusqu'à 900°C.

Find answers to common questions about the TC202 Thermocouple
The dual-tube design combines an outer silicon carbide protection tube with an inner Mullite or Alumina tube. This provides additional protection for the thermocouple element in harsh furnace and molten-metal environments
Available thermocouple elements include Type R, S, B, K and J, with Type C also identified in the ordering options. This allows the assembly to be configured for different temperature ranges and processes
The allowable temperature depends on the thermocouple type, protection-tube configuration and actual process conditions. The datasheet lists a typical application range of 800°C to 1800°C (1470°F to 3272°F) and recommends evaluating actual process conditions when determining the maximum limit
Standard lengths include 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 inches. Custom lengths can also be specified in inches or millimetres for OEM equipment and replacement applications.
Yes. The TC202 can be supplied in straight or L-shaped configurations, giving OEMs and engineers flexibility when furnace geometry, access, mounting position or immersion requirements make a straight installation impractical
Yes. The thermocouple is manufactured to applicable ASTM E230/E230M requirements, and ASTM E220 calibration is available on request. This is useful for OEM commissioning, MRO replacement programs and applications requiring documented temperature verification
