Protection Tubes, Insulating Tubes and RTD Elements

Technical Ceramics in Temperature Measurement and Control

“Protection tubes, insulating tubes and RTD elements made from CeramTec technical ceramics are the first choice in temperature measurement and temperature control whenever safety and stability are required.”



Protection Tubes, Insulating Tubes and RTD Elements

Ceramic protection tubes, insulating tubes and RTD (resistance temperature detector) elements from CeramTec are used in manufacturing devices for temperature measurement and control. Their resistance against aggressive atmospheres – even in the most demanding conditions where temperatures reach up to 1,700° C – make CeramTec products the first choice whenever safety and stability are required in these processes.

The various CeramTec alumina ceramics used, such as Rubalit® C799 or Dimulit® C610, are characterized by their excellent electrical insulation and high mechanical strength. CeramTec also offers the slightly porous material Pormulit® C530. CeramTec protection tubes and insulating tubes that are finished “as fired” conform with the DIN 40680 standard.

Insulating Tubes

Insulating Tubes

Insulating tubes for mounting thermo­couples can be produced with one to ten bores. They are available in round or oval form and can also be inserted with slots.

Protection Tubes

Protection Tubes

Protection tubes that are closed on one end and act as protective sheaths are manufactured in a single process step using Rubalit® C799 and Dimulit® C610 and offer effective pro­tection against penetration from the outside atmosphere into the measure­ment system.

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs)

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs)

CeramTec produces resistance temperature detectors – also known as RTD elements – with exceptionally high purity and extremely tight toler­ances. RTD multi-bore tubes from CeramTec are produced with Ru­balit® C799 and used by RTD ma­nufacturers worldwide.
