Thermal Installation Sleeve
Product Overview
Section titled “Product Overview”The thermal installation sleeve is used together with two-section thermocouples (resistance) and bimetal thermometers to protect temperature-sensing elements during normal operation. It can also be used for high-pressure and high-flow-rate applications. At room temperature, the sleeve withstands static external pressure without rupture. Allowable working pressure depends on sleeve material, diameter, wall thickness, construction, installation method, and the flow rate and type of the measured medium.
Applications
Section titled “Applications”- Installation together with two-section thermocouples (resistance).
- Installation together with bimetal thermometers.
- High-pressure and high-flow-rate temperature-measurement applications.
- Installation points requiring protection and convenient replacement of the temperature-sensing element.
Product Advantages
Section titled “Product Advantages”- Designed with reference to IEC international standards.
- Blind-hole machining.
- Can be manufactured and installed at the same time as the equipment.
- Different pressure levels are available to meet different requirements.
- Hydrostatic testing can be performed when required, at 1.5 times the pressure-resistance grade of the sleeve; X-ray flaw detection for wall thickness, eccentricity and other items can be performed according to user requirements.
Installation Methods
