Sheathed thermocouples, also known as sheathed thermocouples, are used in various industries and applications where precise temperature measurements are required. This type of thermocouple consists of two different metallic conductors that are connected at one end and open at the other. The open ends are placed at the location where the temperature is to be measured.
These are some typical application examples for sheathed thermocouples:
- Industrial process control: In industrial plants, such as chemical, petrochemical and refinery processes, sheathed thermocouples are used to monitor and control the temperature in vessels, pipelines, reactors and other process equipment.
- Furnace and melting technology: In furnaces, melting furnaces, glass furnaces, high-temperature furnaces and other heat treatment plants, sheath thermocouples are used for precise temperature measurement in order to monitor the melting and solidification process.
- Food industry: In food processing and manufacturing, sheath thermocouples are used to ensure that food is cooked, baked or cooled at specific temperatures to ensure product safety and quality.
- Medical applications: Sheath thermocouples are used in medical devices such as incubators, sterilizers and autoclaves to monitor the temperature during sterilization and other medical processes.
- Research and development: Sheath thermocouples are used in laboratories and research facilities to carry out precise temperature measurements during experiments and research work.
- Power generation: In power plants, both thermal and nuclear, sheath thermocouples are used to monitor the temperature in various parts of the plant to ensure safe and efficient operation.
- Aerospace: In the aerospace industry, sheath thermocouples are used to monitor engines, thermal protection systems and other critical components.
- Environmental monitoring: Sheath thermocouples are used in environmental monitoring systems to measure the temperature in various environments such as water, soil and atmosphere.
ThermoExpert° Deutschland GmbH, with its managing directors Heiko Gevert and Andreas Helf, has been a partner to all these branches of industry and research for many years. The range of applications for thermocouples is almost unlimited - as is the wealth of ideas for helping customers achieve their goals.
