3.2 Intended use

The model TC84 sapphire-design thermocouple, with gas-tight sapphire protection tube,

described here is suitable for temperature measurement in critical industrial applications

such as gasification or GtL reactors and is suitable for direct installation into the process.

Due to its monocrystalline structure, the sapphire protection tube extends the life of the

thermocouple's precious metal by 3 times, in comparison to purely ceramic protection

tube materials. As a result of the pressure-tight, hermetically sealed junctions between the

sapphire and metal protection tube, and also a multifold sealing system in the connection

housing, toxic gases are prevented from being able to escape from the reactor.

Neither repairs nor structural modifications are permitted, and any would void the

guarantee and the respective certification. The manufacturer shall not be responsible for

constructional modifications after delivery of the instruments.

The instrument has been designed and built solely for the intended use described here,

and may only be used accordingly.

Failure to observe the permissible operating temperature, also taking into

account convection and radiation, can even cause damage to the thermometer

during mounting.

▶

The upper and lower limits of the specified operating temperature range

must not be exceeded.

WARNING!

Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment caused

by hazardous media

Upon contact with hazardous media (e.g. oxygen, acetylene, flammable

or toxic substances), harmful media (e.g. corrosive, toxic, carcinogenic,

radioactive), and also with refrigeration plants and compressors, there is a

danger of physical injuries and damage to property and the environment.

Should a failure occur, aggressive media with extremely high temperature

and under high pressure or vacuum may be present at the instrument.

▶

For these media, in addition to all standard regulations, the appropriate

existing codes or regulations must also be followed.

▶

Wear the requisite protective equipment.

5.1 Unpacking the thermocouple and dismounting the protective transport tube

When unpacking the TC84 thermocouple, and also when removing the protective transport

tube, carry out the following steps:

1. Check the packaging for damage.

2. Open cardboard packaging.

3. Remove foam padding.

4. Lift out the TC84 thermocouple with two people.

5. Clamp the process flange in the vice

1)

using suitable protective jaws.

6. Remove the additional protection from between the ceramic tube and the protective

transport tube.

7. Carefully and alternately loosen the three clamping screws on the protective transport

tube in order to prevent any tilting of the protective transport tube. At the same time, a

second person must observe the opening of the protective transport tube at the lower

end in order to prevent any contact of the tube wall with the ceramic.

8. After loosening the clamping screws, carefully pull the protective transport tube off.

1) If no vice is available, we recommend disassembling on a workbench. The first person must support the connection

head and at the same time loosen the threaded connection as described in point 7. The second person, in the meantime,

supports the protective transport tube and pulls it off carefully.

14274725.02 08/2018 EN/DE/FR/ES

WIKA operating instructions model TC8412

5.2 Mechanical mounting

Ceramic protection tube materials withstand changes in temperature only to a limited

extent. A temperature shock can therefore easily result in stress cracks and consequently

in damage to the protection tube.

For this reason, preheat thermocouples with ceramic or sapphire protection tubes before

installation, and then slowly immerse them into the hot process.

In accordance with DIN 43724, an insertion speed of 1 cm/min is recommended for

protection tubes with a diameter of 24/26 mm. For smaller diameters of 10/15 mm, the

speed can be increased to 50 cm/min. As a basic principle, higher process temperatures

require a lower insertion speed.

In addition to the protection from thermal stress, ceramic protection tubes must also be

protected from mechanical loads. The reason for these harmful stresses are bending forces

in case of a horizontal mounting position. As a consequence, an additional support must

be provided in case of a horizontal mounting position depending on the diameter, greater

nominal lengths and the design.

In principle, the deflection problem also occurs for metal protection tubes, particularly for

insertion lengths > 500 mm. For process temperatures > 1,200 °C [> 2,192 °F], vertical

mounting should be preferred.

The flange dimensions must match those of the mating flange on the process side. The

seals used must be suitable for the process and the flange geometries (consult the delivery

note). When mounting, depending on the seals used, use the appropriate tightening

torques and tools (e.g. torque spanner).

5.3 Electrical mounting

Cable glands

Requirements for meeting ingress protection:

■

Only use cable glands within their indicated clamping range and operating temperature

(cable diameter suitable for the cable gland).

■

Do not use the lower clamping area with very soft cable types.

■

Only use round cables (if necessary, slightly oval in cross-section).

■

Do not twist the cable.

■

Repeated opening/closing is possible; however only if necessary, as it might have a

detrimental effect on the ingress protection

■

For cables with a pronounced cold-flow behaviour the screw connection must be fully

tightened.

WIKA operating instructions model TC84 13

5.4 Electrical connection

CAUTION!

Danger of short circuit

Damage to cables, wires and connection points can lead to malfunction of

the instrument.

▶

Avoid damaging the cables and wires. Fine-stranded leads with bare ends

must be finished with end splices.

Open the G 1 ¼ sealing caps of the connection head on the head side of the cable entry

and after fitting the connection leads, tighten to at least 50 Nm. Opening the plug screws

on the top of the connection housing and the sealing caps opposite is not permitted.

5.5 Temperature carry-over from the process

Any heat reflux from the process which exceeds the operating temperature of the

connection housing of a maximum of 200 °C [392 °F], is not permitted and must be

prevented by suitable thermal insulation or a corresponding structural design. Furthermore,

make sure that only suitable connection cables and cable glands are used.
