AMETEK Hermetic Exhaust Gas (EGT) and Wheel Space Frame Turbine Thermocouples are the latest OEM production qualified design and incorporate many improvements over previous thermocouple offerings. AMETEK's new thermocouple is 100% hermetic which ensures longer product life, improved temperature accuracy, and no troublesome insulation resistance failures during operation. The junction box mounts directly to the radiation shield or turbine case and eliminates the problem of mineral insulated cable extending outside the turbine. Materials were carefully selected to ensure long life and to eliminate vibration and galling failures. This new thermocouple, used in conjunction with AMETEK's flexible cable, provides a product that is not only easier to install and maintain, but also a product that is more reliable, accurate, and longer lived.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Thermocouple
