2. Design and function
2.1 Description
Model TC59-T TEFRACTO-PAD
measure the temperature of tubes typically located within boilers, cokers, furnaces, heat
exchangers and reactors. This model of thermocouple is typically used within industrial
high-temperature and/or corrosive environments where temperature measurement is
critical.
The most important considerations for effective tubeskin design are repeatability, durability
and accuracy. To achieve these functions the thermocouple must incorporate within its
design excellent insulation properties, material compatibility and good physical contact with
the tube. It must also have the ability to withstand high radiant temperatures and stresses,
and in some cases harsh combustion chemistry.
