Sialon – Thermocouple Sheaths

McDanel Sialon ST thermocouple sheaths (TCS) are used extensively for continuous temperature measurement in non-ferrous metals. In molten aluminum and aluminum alloys, Sialon ST is thermal shock resistant, non-wetting, does not contaminate the melt, provides for continuous, reliable temperature measurement and is resistant to degradation even in aggressive aluminum lithium alloys. The excellent corrosion resistance of Sialon ST allows the use of thinner walls, thereby providing faster response time and improved accuracy. TCS tubes are commercially available from stock in four standard diameters with plain or grooved ends. Custom engineered sizes and configurations are available on request.
