TR96-O TC96-O Flexible Multipoint Thermometer for Pipewells

The Tx96-O is a unique product offering superior reliability, utility, and safety. The Flex-O™ design substantially improved the science of reactor temperature measurement. It allows temperature measurement at various levels throughout the reactor with the use of multiple measuring points. It does so while offering a flexibility feature that makes installation easier.

Flexibility ensures that the sensor tip remains in continuous contact with the inner wall of the pipewell. This is true even in the event of pipewell warpage. This thermowell offers replaceability, speed of response, bimetallic actuation, and point density.

Special features

  • Flexible installation
  • Secondary containment
  • Replaceability

Description

Applications

  • Chemical and petrochemical industry
  • Measurement of temperature layerings or hotspots in reactors
  • Fuel depots

Multipoint thermometers are often used for measuring temperature profiles in reactors, fuel depots, or for the detection of “hotspots”.

The individual measuring points are pressed by pressure springs to the internal side of the pipewell to achieve rapid response times. This forms a single entity with the thermometer which can ideally be an already existing component of the reactor. Connection terminals or temperature transmitters are placed in the connection housing. This is either a component of the multipoint thermometer or can be mounted separately. For example, on a wall or pipeline.

The purge is a unique product feature for increased safety. This is performed by purging contaminants and providing internal pipewell pressure relief. The purge design incorporates a single heavy-wall center support tube which provides a purging gas the entire length of the pipewell. The purging protects the internal of the pipewell and thermocouple sensors.

All  designs are customer engineered for each specific customer application and need.
