Flexible sheathed cable, mineral-insulated internal leads
High mechanical strength, shock-resistant

Sensor design

This equipment is designed as two primary components that have been combined to a single one-step process. It is used in welding to the tube and accuracy. The contoured one-step heat shield and weld-pad have been designed to suit each tube and sensor size.

This revolutionary sensor is an engineered solution for the tubeskin industry. It will be designed for each application and installation. The design provides accurate measurement results.

The ends of the leads are connected and the sheathed cable is hermetically sealed using a sealing compound at one end of the sheathed cable. The other lead end forms the platform for the electrical connection. Cables, plug-in connectors, or connector sockets can be connected to them.

The TEFRACTO-PAD^® model TC59-T is the first development in the WIKA Houston R&D center. The product features proven accuracy and ease of installation. It was designed by taking into account the knowledge of customer applications, needs, and requirements.

The sensor hot end is a contoured weld-pad and optimised heat shield attached to a mineralinsulated cable (sheathed cable). It consists of a metal outer sheath compressed within a high-density ceramic composition. It contains the insulated internal leads. The material of the outer sheath can be selected to match the application. The internal leads are welded together to form an insulated (ungrounded) or non-insulated (grounded) measuring location at the hot end of the sheathed cable.

A proprietary moldable shield is placed over the thermopad and sheathed cable. This shield and insulation is a key component. They provide accurate temperature that is backed with research and testing from our state of the art R&D center.
