TG Gland with High Temperature Wires
Transducer gland assemblies with fiberglass-insulated thermo-couple wire are specially designed for applications where the sensor wire is exposed to process temperatures reaching up to 900° F (482° C). This assembly is particularly targeted for use with vacuum and/or inert gas back-filled furnaces with vessel wall temperatures up to 200° F (93° C) and pressures not exceeding 300 psi. The assembly consists of bonded fiberglass-insulated/silicone impregnated thermocouple grade wires on the body side, with stripped bare wires passing through the Conax-manufactured transducer gland. An alternative high-temperature fiberglass for Type K wire is also available with temperature capabilities up to 1400° F (760° C). Sleeved insulation material on the wires exiting the cap side may be fiberglass/silicone impregnated, Teflon® or polyolefin. Available gland sealant materials are Viton® and Teflon.
