Angled Thermocouple assemblies with Bent or Welded Protection tube

Angled thermocouple assemblies with bent or welded protection tube (35-WCG) are primarily used for temperature measurement in metal smelting and salt baths.

The angled shape allows for placement of the connection head away from the actual bath/melt in order to avoid direct exposure to high temperatures and aggressive vapours.

As an alternative to the installed thermocouple, numerous angled thermocouple assemblies may be fitted with a mineral-insulated measuring insert, which can have several crucial advantages:

•  Optimal protection of the inner conductors from corrosion, oxidation, physical damage, and chemical contamination due to the enclosed structure of the outer insulation.

•  Increased stability of the electrical insulation compared to ceramic insulated thermocouples.

In order to ensure functionality of the thermocouple assembly during a suitable timeframe, careful consideration should be used when selecting the materials for thermocouple and protection tube depending on the operating conditions.

Thermoelectric voltages and tolerances of our thermocouples and mineral-insulated measuring inserts are according to DIN EN 60584, class 1, for thermocouples and mineral-insulated measuring inserts of type L according to DIN 43710.
