Advanced Thermocouples

We offer advanced Thermocouples for increased life which deliver the most accurate temperature measurement. These Thermocouples are lined with an advanced Morgan Blue Lightning sheaths which offer superior protection, excellent service life, quick response and ease of use for aluminum and other non-ferrous melting and holding applications.

We offer the complete pyrometer assembly which comes ready for the tough foundry environment and is inspected and tested prior to shipment. They are specifically designed to provide a quick and technician free change out of the existing pyrometer with no additional effort other than plugging in the new pyrometer and screwing on the sheath.

Our Complete Assembly Includes:

Thermocouple (Type K)
Blue Lightning Thermocouple Sheath
Horizontal pipe and fittings
Junction head and connectors
Stainless sheathed lead (2m)
Male connector
Female connector (for connection to furnace)

Choosing the Correct Length

Fixed Pyrometer- A pyrometer is normally recommended to be long enough to measure the temperature 2/3 from the top of the crucible.

Floating Pyrometer- Blue Lightning Thermocouples are often chosen to measure 100mm (4”) from the top of the melt.
