The angular shape allows for placement of the connector head away from the actual bath/smelt in order to avoid direct exposure to high temperatures and aggressive vapours.

Angular thermocouple assemblies with threaded elbow tubing offer the advantages of an exchangeable immersion tube and the possibility of using more economic material for the supporting tube due to reduced ambient stress factors.

GÜNTHER GmbH has all prevalent angular thermocouples used in smelting and foundry technology. Standard assemblies with immersion tubes made of steel, pure iron, heat-resistant steels and special alloys are applied, as well as silicon nitride, graphite, SIC or special metal ceramics.

Optionally, these thermocouple assemblies may be fitted with in an internal ceramic tube, which significantly  increases the long-term stability and electrical insulation in many application scenarios.

As an alternative to the installed thermocouple, numerous angular thermocouple assemblies may be fitted with a mineral-insulated gauge slide, which yields several crucial advantages, such as optimal protection of the inner conductors from corrosion, oxidation, physical damage, and chemical contamination due to the enclosed structure of the outer insulation.

In order to ensure functionality of the thermocouple assembly during a suitable timeframe, careful consideration should be used when selecting the materials for thermocouple and protective tube depending on the operating conditions.

Thermoelectric voltages and tolerances of our thermocouples and mineral-insulated gauge slides are pursuant to DIN EN 60584, class 1, for thermocouples and mineral-insulated gauge slides of type L pursuant to DIN 43710.
