7" Thermocouple Protection Tube
-
The Protection Tube extends past the tip, protecting the tip from damage while loading the kiln
-
Keeps the oxide dust from the thermocouple tip from getting into the kiln while firing.
(Any dust should still be vacuumed when doing the normal cleaning of the kiln). -
Protects thermocouples from excessive radiation errorfrom the nearby hot elements.
-
Reduces zone control errors because the tips of all thermocouples are equally exposed to the heat of the kiln while still being as protected as possible.
-
The protection tubes are 3/4” in outside diameter with a 1/2” inside diameter (which accommodates the standard 8 gauge Type K thermocouple).
-
There is a flange on the back end of the thermocouple to prevent it from going into the kiln.
-
The tube is open but protrudes past the delicate tip of the thermocouple.
