TCP's Multi-Points Provide the Solution
to Space Limitations for Multiple Thermocouples
Certain processes require the monitoring of
temperatures throughout a vessel. When space limitations or cost make it
impractical to utilize individual thermocouples at each required location, TCP's
multi-point thermocouples provide the solution.
Multi-points are custom designed to locate
measuring junctions at key points in your application. They are constructed to
withstand the extreme temperatures and pressures experienced in severe reactor
environments.
A multi-point assembly generally consists of a
junction box providing terminal connections for instrumentation leads to the
thermocouples, an extension neck which places the junction box above the
radiated heat of the vessel, a mounting flange which mates the assembly to the
vessel instrumentation nozzle and a closed pipe thermowell which protects the
enclosed thermocouples from extreme harmful process conditions experienced in
most applications.
These assemblies are used in a variety of
applications including catalytic crackers, lime kilns, distillation columns, and
pressurized reactor vessels. A multi-point can be almost any size. TCP has
manufactured multi-point assemblies as long as 100 feet. But, they can be as
short as three feet. The number of sensors place in the assembly limited only by
the thermowell pipe size, as few as two, and as many as 20 sensors. TCP's
multi-point assemblies are designed to meet the requirements of the application.
To give you a better idea of our capabilities,
we've included several examples of some typical designs. The following designs
do not necessarily reflect the type of mounting, size, or limitations, they
should be used merely as an indicator of typical designs.
