• MINERAL INSULATED THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE AR (CONNECTION HEAD) & AT (FOR USE WITH THERMOWELL)

    WATLOW’S MINERAL INSULATED (MI) THERMOCOUPLES ARE FAST-RESPONDING, DURABLE AND CAPABLE OF HANDLING HIGH TEMPERATURES.

    Manufactured with best-in-class XACTPAK®, Watlow’s trademark for metal sheathed, mineral insulated (MI) thermocouple material, XACTPAK responds fast because the protective metal outer sheath allows use of smaller diameter thermocouple conductors. The rock hard compacted MgO insulation further enhances the sensor’s ability to “read” temperature by transferring heat quickly to the measuring junction.

    The XACTPAK protecting sheath and compacted insulation outperform bare wire thermocouples in most applications.

  • MULTICELL™ INSERTION HEATERS

    EFFICIENT HEAT DISSIPATION AND LONG LIFE TO MEET YOUR HIGHEST DEMANDS

    The advanced design of the MULTICELL heater from Watlow offers three major advantages over other insertion heaters: extreme process temperature capability, independent zone control for precise temperature uniformity and loose fit design for easy insertion and removal.

    • Multiple, independently controllable zones for process temperature uniformity
    • Radiant design of heater permits easy removal and replacement with minimal downtime
    • Oxidized sheath improves heater performance as oxidation increases
    • Quick disconnect plug and jack enables quick replacement of individual elements while maintaining operating temperature
    • Special bending capabilities solves unusual machinery needs

    INDIVIDUALLY METAL-SHEATHED COILS SWAGED INTO A LARGER, HIGH-TEMPERATURE ALLOY OUTER SHEATH
    Provides maximum protection against element burnout through the outer sheath

    FLEXIBLE LEADS UP TO 842°F (450°C)
    Protects termination from high-temperature environment

    MULTIPLE, INDEPENDENTLY CONTROLLABLE ZONES
    Allows process temperature uniformity not possible with any other single-sheathed heater

    RADIANT DESIGN OF HEATER
    Permits easy removal and replacement with minimal down time since it will not bind or seize in the hole

    QUICK DISCONNECT PLUG AND JACK
    Permits fast replacement of individual elements while the press stays at operating temperature

    SPECIAL BENDING CAPABILITIES
    Solves unusual machinery needs and keeps leads away from heated zones

  • MULTICOIL™ HEATERS

    MULTIPLE COILS AND THERMOCOUPLES PACKAGED IN ONE SHEATH FOR QUICK INSTALLATION

    The MULTICOIL heater tubular element with multiple coils and/or thermocouples inside one sheath answers the need for a versatile, innovative tubular multiple coil heater. Watlow’s patented method of packaging a thermocouple inside of a heater with one or more resistance coils gives the ability to sense a heater’s internal temperature accurately, every time.

    Moreover, this is the first tubular heater in the industry with three-phase capability. The three coil, three-phase heater will offer a compact package solution while delivering the full power required in a compact heater package. Previously three separate heaters would have been required to do the same job; therefore Watlow’s MULTICOIL heater capabilities save money.

    • Three-phase capability results in one element versus three, lower amperage, reduced installation time and lower overall cost
    • Multiple coil operations reduces inventory by allowing dual voltage capability
    • Versatile forming capabilities forms into many configurations
    • Internal thermocouple construction eliminates contamination buildup around the external sensing tip, reducing the possibility of false readings

  • MULTIPOINT THERMOCOUPLES – STYLE AW

    ACCURATELY MEASURES TEMPERATURES AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS

    Temperature variances exist in all systems, regardless of materials, working fluid or system design. There is not a process that involves heating a particular medium where temperature of that medium is consistent throughout— temperature gradients always exist. Sensing temperature at a single location during a process is acceptable for many applications because temperature gradients are often insignificant. However, there is a need for many applications to monitor temperature in multiple locations to ensure a safe, accurate and cost efficient process. Installing multiple, independent temperature sensors may be impractical due to cost or space limitations.

    Multipoint temperature sensors accurately measure temperatures at various locations along the sensor’s length. They are used across a broad range of processes and installations—predominately in applications involving a large or complex process where close temperature control is necessary.

    Multipoint temperature sensors are designed to meet requirements of specific applications that include temperature, pressure, chemical environments, time response and number of points required. Sensors are constructed from a variety of protecting tube materials that use XACTPAK mineral insulated, metal-sheathed cable. Multipoint temperature sensors are available in standard or special ASTM thermocouple calibration tolerances. For applications requiring extreme accuracy, special constructions can be made with platinum resistance temperature detectors (RTDs).

    The Polyimide thermocouple, when used with the aluminum bracket, is designed primarily to measure roller temperature. Light pressure on the roller enables the Polyimide thermocouple to measure roller surface temperature without using slip rings. This type of set-up greatly reduces lag time and eliminates slip rings cost and maintenance. It can also be used to measure conveyor belt temperatures and any other moving part by riding gently on the part surface.
