Fittings for thermocouple temperature sensors with a single ceramic protective tube.
- external Pythagoras ceramic, diameter 9 mm
- for a precious metal thermocouple (most commonly type S, R or B)
Fittings for thermocouple temperature sensors with a single ceramic protective tube.
The MTC5MA series is designed for applications with operating temperatures up to 1300 °C and a requirement for a small sensor outer diameter. It has a single ceramic protective tube made of Pythagoras material. It withstands thermal shocks well, however its chemical resistance is only average. The ceramic parts are not gas-tight, which may negatively affect the long-term lifetime of the installed thermocouple.
The measuring element is a precious metal thermocouple. The thermocouple’s output signal is a voltage whose dependence on temperature is defined by the ČSN EN 60584-1 ed. 2 standard. Thermocouples are not included in the ordering code (ordered separately).
The fitting consists of a head, a holding pipe, a protective ceramic tube and a capillary, in which one or two thermocouples are installed. The head is fitted with a cable gland for connecting a compensation cable.
The sensor can be fitted with a temperature converter. A PR mounting flange can be used to secure the sensor at the point of measurement.
