High Pressure Thermocouple (Thermal Resistor)

High Pressure Thermocouple (Thermal Resistor) combines armored thermocouple (thermal resistor) elements, a 42 MPa high-pressure RJ flange, and an integrally drilled protection tube. The protection tube uses an integral forging or full-fusion-welded design for medium temperature measurement under high-pressure conditions.

Typical applications include ethylene, propylene, hydrogenation, catalytic, and cracking units in the petrochemical industry, as well as medium temperature measurement inside pipelines.

  • Medium temperature measurement in ethylene units.
  • Medium temperature measurement in propylene units.
  • Medium temperature measurement in hydrogenation units.
  • Medium temperature measurement in catalytic units.
  • Medium temperature measurement in cracking units.
  • Medium temperature measurement inside petrochemical pipelines.
  • High-pressure process connection: a nominal pressure of 42 MPa and a high-pressure RJ flange.
  • Protective structure: an integrally drilled protection tube with an integral forging or full-fusion-welded design is available.
  • Sensing element options: K and E thermocouples and Pt100 thermal resistors.
  • Different temperature measurement ranges: K is 0-1000 °C, E is 0-800 °C, and Pt100 is -200-450 °C.
  • Defined accuracy classes: thermocouples are available in Class I and Class II; Pt100 is available in Class A and Class B.

The product uses an RJ flange for high-pressure process connection. The structural diagram shows the sensing element inserted into the measured medium through the protection tube; the actual insertion length and installation dimensions should be confirmed against the site pipeline or unit interface.
