In
applications were high vibration or exposure to mechanical
shock preclude the use of RTD's, the use of thermocouples
is common. The drawback has always been that Type K and E
thermocouples experience a calibration drift, up to 5°C
(9°F), when exposed to a temperature of 538°C (1000°F).Thermo
Electric offers a solution with its Stabilized Type K and
E thermocouples. This unique product insures that the initial
calibration of the thermocouple will be maintained when exposed
to high temperature. Used successfully in steam turbine applications
this proven solution allows the turbine to function more efficiently
saving thousands of dollars in fuel savings as well as maintenance
cost.
