Tube Skin Thermocouples

 

Tube Skin Thermocouples (for mounting on the surface of pipes) is a very effective tool to measure pipe wall temperatures in the petrochemical installations and boiler tubes and superheater tubes in steam power plants. Made of insulated wire inside by magnesium oxide MgO. Tube skin thermocouple is usually grounded to the sleeve KNIFE-EDGE or a weld pad PAD (dimensions 3x3 cm), which allows a good fit to the shape of the process pipe. Tips for welding can be wider and contoured to the surface of the pipe, thus facilitating the installation of on-site. Weld-sleeve type KNIFE-EDGE-shaped provide faster response time for the temperature sensor. Tube skin thermocouples available with sheath diameter of Ø8 to Ø12.7 mm and have a thick wall.

You can add layers of insulation around the pipes and the connector seal protects from heat. This prevents the outflow of heat from the slot, thanks to temperature measurement is more accurate.

Loops expansion joints compensate for the size of the pipe due to increased temperature. To increase security along the tube mounting brackets can be welded.

Each sensor is adapted to the specific applications to ensure optimum productivity, because for every application, we have to offer different types of structure measurement, such as PAD and KNIFE-EDGE.
