Saint-Gobain
Nicarb

Cryston® NICARB Thermocouple
Our standard grade CERT material comprises high-purity graphite and SiC, bonded with carbon. This contains a complex glaze and antioxidant system that protects the graphite and carbon bond during service.
The tubes are isostatically pressed onto a closed-end threaded steel pipe, which provides an easily used industry standard 1/2″ or 3/4″ BSP hanger system.
Full mechanical strength and resistance to aluminium and its fluxes are developed during the firing process.

Service advantages include

 

No preheat necessary
No preheat necessary if the tubes are dry
response time
Industry leading thermal conductivity and response time
High corrosion resistance
High corrosion resistance to surface fluxes
 
Simple industry standard
Simple industry standard hanging system using ½” or ¾”BSP threads on the integral steel pipe
Sealed pipework
Sealed pipework allowing use in pressurised and dosing systems
electrical
Good electrical conductivity to allow use of metal level detection systems
 
sizes
Large size range from 6” – 69”, 150mm to 1750mm
short delivery times
Standard sizes and short delivery times
