Description
Thermocouples without thermowell are particularly suitable for those applications in which the metallic sensor tip is mounted directly into bored holes (e.g. in machine components) or directly into the process for any application with no chemically aggressive media or abrasion. For mounting into a thermowell, a spring-loaded compression fitting should be provided, since only this can press the sensor tip into the bottom of the thermowell. Otherwise a potentially critical force could be exerted on the measuring
tip. Mounting is usually made directly into the process. Fastening elements such as threaded fittings, union nuts, etc.
The flexible part of the sensor is a mineral-insulated cable (sheathed cable). It consists of a stainless steel outer sheath, which contains the insulated internal leads, embedded within a high-density ceramic compound and is also suitable for use at higher temperatures. Optionally we can fit analogue or digital transmitters from the WIKA range into the connection head.
