Fast Thermocouple for Molten Steel, 602 Series

Product Overview

The 602 series fast thermocouple is an expendable immersion sensor used to measure the temperature of molten steel and iron in converters, electric arc furnaces, ladles and tundishes. The measuring junction is mounted in a refractory cap at the tip of a paper protection tube; the tube is plugged onto a measuring lance and immersed below the slag layer to obtain a reading within seconds.

Key Features

• Sub-6-second immersion and 2–5 s response for converter, electric furnace and ladle measurement
• Four graduation types cover 1000 °C to 1800 °C melting shops
• High-purity platinum-rhodium or tungsten-rhenium wire for stable EMF output
• Aluminium-silicate-fibre splash tube resists slag attack and extends usable time in the bath
• Interchangeable connector fits standard measuring lances
