Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered array of temperature sensors designed for continuous monitoring of ladle preheating processes in metal manufacturing. This system provides real-time temperature data across multiple critical points to ensure uniform heating, prevent thermal shock, and optimize energy consumption during ladle preparation for molten metal handling.
Working Principle
Utilizes multiple thermocouples or RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) arranged in strategic positions to measure temperature gradients. Sensors convert thermal energy into electrical signals, which are processed by a central control unit to provide accurate temperature readings and enable automated adjustments to heating elements.
Materials
High-temperature resistant materials including Inconel sheaths (up to 1200°C), ceramic insulation, stainless steel mounting hardware, and platinum or nickel alloy sensing elements.
Technical Parameters
  • Accuracy ±0.5% of reading
  • Output Signal 4-20mA or digital (Modbus RTU)
  • Response Time <2 seconds
  • Number of Sensors 8-16 points
  • Operating Voltage 24VDC
  • Protection Rating IP67
  • Temperature Range -50°C to 1200°C
Standards
ISO 9001, IEC 60584, ASTM E230
