Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered interface component designed to securely house and position temperature sensors within casting mold thermal management plates. It ensures accurate thermal monitoring by maintaining consistent sensor contact with the mold surface while protecting sensors from mechanical damage and environmental contaminants during high-temperature casting operations.
Working Principle
The port provides a thermally conductive pathway between the mold surface and the temperature sensor while maintaining mechanical stability. It uses precision threading or clamping mechanisms to secure sensors at optimal depth for surface temperature measurement. Thermal paste or conductive pads enhance heat transfer accuracy, and insulation minimizes external thermal interference.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 316L), Inconel 718, or ceramic (Alumina 99.5%) for high-temperature resistance; optional thermal interface materials (silicone-based thermal pads or ceramic-filled epoxy)
Technical Parameters
  • Depth 15-25mm
  • Thread Type Metric fine thread or NPT
  • Port Diameter M8x1.0 or 1/4" NPT
  • Pressure Rating Up to 10 bar
  • Temperature Range -50°C to 500°C
  • Installation Torque 8-12 Nm
Standards
ISO 1502, DIN 13, ISO 1179-1
