Terms & Conditions
The OPTITEMP TCA-TW58 is a weld-in thermocouple (TC) assembly with a straight barstock thermowell. The temperature assembly for advanced requirements is suitable for applications in pipes, tanks or reactors where flange or thread connections are no longer sufficient. Its thermowell also features a much higher mechanical stress resistance than welded multipart thermowells, making it particularly useful in applications with higher flow velocities and pressures (e.g. in the petrochemical or oil and gas industry). The TC sensor is designed for temperature measurement of solids, liquids, gases and steam up to +600°C / +1100°F
The OPTITEMP TCA-TW58 features a modular design with a threaded neck tube that can be exchanged easily, even under operating conditions. This makes the temperature assembly very flexible. If it has been damaged from the outside, servicing can be carried out without process shut down. The thermocouple assembly can be combined with most thermowells. It is available with ATEX and IECEx approvals.
