Thermocouple Tube For Molten Metals

British Electricals offers Thermocouple Tube for Molten Metal or Lava Tube, the ultimate in thermal protection for aluminium industry. Referable to its features like superior strength at high temperatures, excellent thermal shock resistance, and no chemical reaction to molten aluminium, it is good choice as thermocouple protection tubes immersed heater protection tubes for use in molten aluminium baths even there are rapid temperature fluctuations. Lava has solved the existing problem of brittleness of ceramic thermocouple tubes while still retaining their properties of heat, abrasion and corrosion resistance. Its impermeable and non-wetting surface, it does not need daily washing or coating thereby providing maintenance free use. Since the tubes are of ceramic material, there is no iron pick-up to create contamination in aluminium. Also it does not require pre heating. Lava has the features like: quick response, maintenance free, prolonged service life, high oxidation resistance, non contamination of the bath, excellent thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, and no corrosion from molten aluminium.
