Alumina (99% Min. Purity) Protection Tubes
Ceramic Protection Tubes are used in applications where contamination from hostile environments or the cutting action of concentrated and direct flame impingement are factors. Such conditions usually require a noble metal thermocouple such as platinum and platinum alloys. Sags at 2900°F (1593°C) Prevents dry hydrogen penetration

Such conditions usually require a noble metal thermocouple such as platinum and platinum alloys. Sags at 2900°F (1593°C) Prevents dry hydrogen penetration
When selecting assemblies using ceramic components, the expected maximum temperatures must be considered. At elevated temperatures, some ceramic materials go through a glass phase. As silica is a prime contaminant of platinum, alumina protecting tubes and insulators are recommended for temperatures exceeding 2000°F (1093°C).
- Thermal Shock Characteristics: Fair (preheating to900°F [482°C]recommended)
- Maximum Available Length (in): 84
- Typical Applicaitons:
- Iron, Barium, crown glass
- non-ferrous metals
- gas-tight protection for noble metal thermocouples in excess of 2400°F (1316°C)
Porcelain Protection Tubes
Ceramic Protection Tubes are used in applications where contamination from hostile environments or the cutting action of concentrated and direct flame impingement are factors. Such conditions usually require a noble metal thermocouple such as platinum and platinum alloys. Sags at 2550°F (1400°C) Prone to attack by halogen gases Some penetration of dryhydrogen Contains silica.

304 Stainless Steel Protection Tubes
For longer life and continued accuracy, most thermocouples in industrial applications should be protected from physical damage, corrosion, and contamination by some type of protecting tube or well. Metal tubes selected to suit the temperature, pressure and atmosphere are generally used with base metal thermocouples. Embrittles in 800°F (427°C) to 1400°F (760°C) range.
