• Product Code: Thermocouples, Rupture Discs & Pressure Gauges

Safety Head/Rupture Discs Pressure Gauges/Snubbers, Thermocouples

Thermocouples and Thermowells are used for monitoring and controlling temperatures in systems with operating pressures up to 60,000 psi (4137 bar).

Thermocouples: Pencil Style - Pressures to 15,000 psi (1035 bar)

Thermocouples provide reliable temperature measurement within a system. The design permits installation of the element in direct contact with the fluid stream, thereby providing reliable temperature measurement. The quick-connector affords system flexibility. The thermocouple tip has a grounded-type junction.

Materials:

Precision-molded plastic connectors have heavy duty, spring-loaded jack inserts for positive contact. The sheath is type 316 stainless steel with 316 SS ferrule and gland. We offer a choice of iron constantan (J) or chromel-alumel (K) type elements (please specify when ordering). Basic assembly includes 1/8" Parker Autoclave Engineers Speedbite connection with adapters for other connection sizes.

Thermocouples: Sheath Style - Pressures to 60,000 psi (4140 bar)

Parker Autoclave Engineers sheath thermocouples are designed for pressures to 60,000 psi. Available in type J or K elements, sheath style thermocouples are used with our medium and high pressure components.

Thermocouples provide reliable temperature measurement within a system. Similar to low pressure thermocouples, this design also permits direct temper­ature monitoring at any point in a fluid system. The sheath type thermocouple features grounded junction and rapid response - 100 milliseconds or less at 63.3% of a step change.

Materials:

Bodies are 15-5PH stainless steel. 316 SS sheath brazed into body with gold-nickel alloy brazing material. An aluminum terminal housing is threaded into the body for ready access to erminals. An o-ring seal provides moisture protection.

Thermowells - Pressures to 20,000 psi (1379 bar)

Thermowells are used to provide isolation between a temperature sensor and the environment, such as liquid or gas. Thermowells protect the sensor from pressure, corrosion, abrasion or vibration caused by the process medium. Thermowells allow the temperature sensor to be removed and replaced without compromising either the ambient region or the process. Parker Autoclave Engineers manufactures thermowells from solid bar stock to accommodate applications in the petrochemical, chemical, refining, power and other process industries. Parker Autoclave Engineers manufactures 316SS thermowells capable of connecting to a 1" (SF1000CX) Parker Autoclave Engineers female medium pressure connection.

Materials:

Care must be taken in determining the material used for the thermowell as well as other factors. Parker Autoclave Engineers offers design assistance that includes pressure, temperature and vibration effect of the fluids. This vibration can cause well stem failure.

Standard and special thermowell materials available:

• 316 Stainless Steel

• Hastelloy

• Inconel

• Connection gland included

Universal Safety Heads - Pressures to 110,000 psi (7584 bar)

Safety Heads/Rupture Discs:

Safety Heads and Rupture Discs offer an economical and dependable relief port to guard against system over-pressure. Parker Autoclave Engineers offers universal safety heads in three series compatible in orifice size and maximum pressure rating with Parker Autoclave Low Pressure, Medium Pressure and High Pressure valves, fittings and tubing.

Pressure Gauges P-Style High Accuracy Gauges to 80,000 psi (5115 bar)

Pressure gauges are offered for use in low, medium and high pressure systems to pressures up to 80,000 psi (5515 bar). Adapters are available.

Pressure Gauges are used to monitor and control pressure. P-Style pressure gauges are  available in two sizes, 4-1/2" and 6" (114.3 mm and 152.4 mm), and ranges to 80,000 psi (5515 bar). Optional electrical contact faces for pressure control are used to set high and low limits. Gauges are standard panel mount or can be flush mounted with an optional flush mount kit. H-Style stainless steel case gauges with K-Monel bourdon tube are also offered for corrosive applications up to 30,000 psi (2068 bar)

Instrument Snubbers provide superior pressure gauge protection without compromising instrument accuracy. Available with male and female Medium and High Pressure Cone and Thread connections in 1/4" and 3/8" sizes.
