Immersion temperature probe
CORREGE

Such thermocouples are suited for immersion in the melting materials. They are therefore protected by a cast iron, silicon carbide or Sialon protecting tube. The choice of the material depends on the requested performances.

Each one of these protecting tube materials holds advantages and drawbacks as far as mechanical or thermal resistance or longevity are concerned. Environmental and operating conditions are key elements when it comes to choosing the right material. Protecting tubes offering good mechanical resistance are for instance recommended in high capacity melting ovens whereas protecting tubes with high resistance to corrosion are best suited for temperature
