Measuring points with extremely high process temperatures require this high-temperature thermometer with a ceramic or metal thermowell as well as thermocouples made from special metals such as platinum and rhodium. The thermowell made from special materials protects from mechanical and chemical damages in the process and increases the life span of the used sensors. This leads to: Cost savings for maintenance of the measuring point, quality improvements of the products and increased plant safety.

• Applicable for temperature measurement in cement production, steel treatment, incinerators and fluidized bed furnaces. The TAF16 contains a single or double thermocouple insert and a metal or ceramic protection tube as well as an optional internal sheath

• Process temperatures: up to +1,700 °C (+3,092 °F)

• Long lifetime by usage of innovative thermowell materials with increased wear and chemical resistance

• Long-term stable measurement due to sensor protection with non-porous materials

• Flexible product selection thanks to modular design

• Optimized life cycle costs by means of replaceable spare parts
