Wear-Resistant Thermocouples with Manual Shutoff Valves

Description

Wear-resistant measurement with manual isolation

These refinery thermocouples combine a wear-resistant measuring end with a manual shutoff valve. If wear causes leakage through the protective tube, the valve can be manually closed to interrupt the leakage path. Single or dual sheathed sensing elements and fixed-flange or fixed-thread mounting are available.
