Thermocouple Protection Tubes of Various Materials Empower Efficient and Stable Industrial Temperature Measurement

In the process of industrial production, temperature monitoring serves as a core link to ensure product quality, enhance production efficiency and safeguard production safety. As a key temperature measuring component, the material selection of thermocouple protection tubes directly determines the accuracy and stability of temperature measurement as well as the service life of the equipment. Targeting the complex working conditions of different industrial scenarios, our company precisely matches material characteristics and launches a variety of dedicated thermocouple protective tubes. Among them, four types of thermocouple protection sheaths made of Si₃N₄, Si₃N₄-bonded SiC, SiC and RSiC materials respectively demonstrate excellent adaptability in molten aluminum temperature measurement and kiln atmosphere temperature measurement scenarios, providing reliable guarantee for the high-quality production of related industries.

Si₃N₄ Thermocouple Protection Tubes: A Stable Choice for Molten Aluminum Temperature Measurement

The molten aluminum temperature measurement scenario is characterized by high temperature, strong corrosiveness of molten media and large working condition fluctuations, which puts forward stringent requirements for the high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and structural stability of thermocouple protection tubes. Thanks to its unique crystal structure and outstanding performance, the thermocouple protection tube made of Si₃N₄ (silicon nitride) material has become an ideal choice for molten aluminum temperature measurement. This material boasts extremely high high-temperature stability, capable of operating stably for a long time in high-temperature environments above 1300℃, which fully meets the temperature measurement needs of molten aluminum smelting, casting and other processes. Meanwhile, it features strong chemical inertness, which can effectively resist the erosion and penetration of molten aluminum, avoid the failure of thermocouple elements caused by the damage of thermocouple protective tubes, and ensure the continuity and accuracy of temperature measurement data. In addition, the Si₃N₄ material also has good thermal shock resistance, which can adapt to the drastic temperature fluctuations during molten aluminum pouring, is not prone to cracking, damage and other problems, significantly prolongs the service life of temperature measuring equipment, reduces the operation and maintenance costs of enterprises, and is widely used in various aluminum processing links such as aluminum ingot melting, aluminum alloy casting and aluminum profile production.

Si₃N₄-bonded SiC Thermocouple Protection Sheaths: An Enhanced Upgrade Solution for Molten Aluminum Working Conditions

To address the higher strength requirements and more complex working condition environments in some molten aluminum production scenarios, our company has launched Si₃N₄-bonded SiC (silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide) thermocouple protection sheaths. On the basis of inheriting the excellent molten aluminum corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability of Si₃N₄ material, the composite modification with SiC material further improves the mechanical strength and wear resistance of the thermocouple protection tubes. The addition of SiC material greatly enhances the hardness of the protection tubes, which can effectively resist the impact of impurity particles that may exist in molten aluminum and avoid damage caused by mechanical collision. At the same time, the composite material has better thermal conductivity, which can accelerate the temperature conduction speed, improve the temperature measurement response efficiency, and help enterprises more accurately control the molten aluminum temperature parameters. This type of thermocouple protective tube is particularly suitable for molten aluminum temperature measurement scenarios with harsh working conditions and high requirements for equipment reliability, such as large-scale aluminum melting furnaces and continuous casting production lines, providing solid temperature measurement guarantee for high-strength and continuous aluminum processing production.

SiC Thermocouple Protective Tubes: A High-Efficiency Temperature Measurement Tool in Kiln Atmosphere

As a core equipment for high-temperature heating in industrial production, the internal atmosphere of kilns is complex and diverse, often containing corrosive gases such as oxidation, reduction and sulfuration, with uneven temperature distribution and intense high-temperature radiation, which puts forward extremely high requirements for the high-temperature corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of thermocouple protection tubes. Relying on its outstanding high-temperature resistance and atmosphere corrosion resistance, the thermocouple protective tube made of SiC (silicon carbide) material has become a preferred product for kiln atmosphere temperature measurement. This material can work stably for a long time in a high-temperature environment of 1600℃, and can meet the high-temperature temperature measurement needs of various kilns such as ceramic kilns, glass kilns and metallurgical kilns. Meanwhile, it has strong resistance to common corrosive gases such as CO and SO₂ in kilns, is not prone to chemical reactions such as oxidation and carbonization, and can maintain the structural integrity of the thermocouple protection sheaths for a long time. In addition, the SiC material has good thermal conductivity and high temperature measurement accuracy, which can quickly respond to temperature changes in the kiln, help enterprises accurately adjust kiln heating parameters and improve product firing quality. At present, this type of thermocouple protection tube has been widely used in many kiln-dependent industries such as ceramic firing, glass melting and metallurgical sintering.

RSiC Thermocouple Protection Sheaths: A High-End Adaptation Solution for Complex Kiln Atmospheres

To meet the stringent temperature measurement requirements of complex atmospheres and ultra-high temperatures in kilns for high-end ceramics, special glass, precision metallurgy and other industries, our company has launched RSiC (reaction-bonded silicon carbide) thermocouple protection sheaths. This material is prepared through a special reaction sintering process and has better performance than ordinary SiC material. First, it has more prominent high-temperature resistance, capable of operating stably in an ultra-high temperature environment of 1800℃, adapting to the extreme temperature measurement scenarios of special kilns. Second, it has stronger resistance to atmosphere corrosion, which has an excellent resistance effect on strong oxidizing, strong reducing atmospheres and various complex corrosive media in the kiln, and can effectively extend the service life of the thermocouple protective tubes. Third, the material has higher density and more uniform structure, avoiding temperature measurement errors caused by material defects and further improving the temperature measurement accuracy. The launch of RSiC thermocouple protection tubes fills the gap of high-end materials in the field of temperature measurement in complex atmospheres of high-end kilns, provides a more reliable and accurate temperature measurement solution for the high-quality production of the precision manufacturing industry, and helps enterprises achieve product quality upgrading.

All along, our company has always adhered to the product concept of "materials adapting to working conditions, precise service to production". Targeting the temperature measurement needs of different industrial scenarios, we continue to deepen material research and development and product optimization. The precise adaptation of the above four types of dedicated thermocouple protection tubes not only demonstrates our company's technical strength in the field of temperature measurement materials, but also provides customized temperature measurement solutions for customers in industries such as aluminum processing and kiln firing. In the future, our company will continue to focus on the pain points of industrial temperature measurement, launch more high-performance temperature measurement products, and help various industries achieve efficient, accurate and safe production control.
