4. Design and function

4.1 Description

Model TC59-V V-PAD

®

tubeskin thermocouple assemblies are designed to measure the

temperature of tubes typically located within boilers, cokers, furnaces, heat exchangers and

reactors. This model of thermocouple is typically used within industrial high-temperature

and/or corrosive environments where temperature measurement is critical.

The most important considerations for eective tubeskin design are repeatability, durability

and accuracy. To achieve these functions the thermocouple must incorporate within its

design excellent insulation properties, material compatibility and good physical contact with

the tube. It must also have the ability to withstand high radiant temperatures and stresses,

and in some cases harsh combustion chemistry.

With all tubeskin designs the correct installation is of prime importance. Incorrect

attachment can ultimately lead to inaccurate temperature readings.

Sheathed cable

The sheathed cable (mineral-insulated cable, MI cable) is exible. The minimum bending

radius is 5 times the sheath diameter.

TC59-V can be assembled as cable probes or as sensors with a connection head.

Optionally, a temperature transmitter can be built into the connection head. For this

temperature transmitter, separate operating instructions will be enclosed.

4.2 Scope of delivery

Cross-check scope of delivery with delivery note.

5. Transport, packaging and storage

5.1 Transport

Check the instrument for any damage that may have been caused by transport.

Obvious damage must be reported immediately.

5.2 Packaging

Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.

Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in

installation site, sending for repair).

5.3 Storage

Permissible conditions at the place of storage:

■

Storage temperature: 0 ... 70 °C (32 ... 158 °F)

■

Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (no condensation)

Avoid exposure to the following factors (terminal side, connection head):

■

Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects

■

Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)

■

Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases

■

Potentially explosive environments, ammable atmospheres

Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulls the conditions listed

above. If the original packaging is not available, pack and store the instrument as described

below:

1. Place the instrument, along with shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.

2. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag, containing a

desiccant, inside the packaging.

6. Commissioning, operation

WARNING!

When the thermocouple is installed, the temperature must not drop below the

allowed operating temperature (environment, medium) or exceed it, even when

taking convection and heat radiation into account!

WARNING!

Thermocouples must be earthed (grounded) if dangerous voltages could be

expected at the connection wires (caused, for example, by mechanical damage,

electrostatic discharge or induction)!

6.1 Installation scope

The following is a guide for installation of V-PAD

®

tubeskin thermocouples. It gives

guidelines and suggestions for preparation, installation and welding V-PAD

®

thermocouples.

Due to the variety of applications some of the suggestions made here may not be

6.2 Before you start

■

Ensure there is enough MI cable to reach the termination box for each V-PAD

®

,

especially if on-site bending and expansion loops are required.

■

Avoid passing MI cable through hot zones.

■

Route the MI cable thermocouple in contact with the coolest side of the tube. This will

substantially increase the life expectancy.

■

Ensure all surfaces to be welded are cleaned by appropriate methods.

■

When grinding always use clean abrasive materials that have not been used on other

materials.

■

A wire brush is not adequate to properly clean the tube.

■

Test t the V-PAD

®

thermocouple at the desired location to ensure adequate length of MI

cable was provided.

■

Ensure all bending is correct and sucient allowance is provided for tube movement.

■

Based on the customer’s weld procedure, determine the appropriate preheat, interpass

and weld ller metal composition for the parent materials.

■

Determine if controlled cooling or post weld heat treatment is required.

Bend radius

Always use an appropriate tube bender for the corresponding diameter of MI cable. If

bending by another means then use bends with radius equal to or greater than those on a

tube bender. The minimum bend radius is 5 times the diameter of the MI cable.

6.3 Sensor positioning

The V-PAD

®

must be located at the peak heat ux of the tube it is mounted on in relation to

the burners. This must be done to ensure the reading accuracy of the V-PAD

®

. Remove

scale and rust from the tube in the locations required for welding to the tube.

6.4 Tests/Checks

■

Test loop resistance of the thermocouple circuit at ambient temperature prior to welding/

routing the V-PAD

®

, record results.

■

After completing the welding/routing of the V-PAD

®

to the tube, test loop resistance at

ambient temperature and compare.

▶

If a deviation of greater than 5 % between readings occurs, please contact WIKA.

■

Perform any non-destructive examination or heat treatment as required.

■

Ensure adequate tube wall thickness at the weld locations. This can be checked by

thickness testing to customer specications.

6.5 Welding process

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) is the suggested welding process due to its relatively

clean weld. Small diameter ller rod (2.4 mm / 3/32" OD) and Tungsten (1.5 mm / 1/16",

2.4 mm / 3/32" OD) give the best penetration, especially for the root passes. During

welding operation, the requirements of the relevant material data sheets and the applicable

directives and standards must be considered regarding the heat treatment, ller rods

or welding procedures. Proper installation is a major step in the success of a V-PAD

®

installation. Although the V-PAD

®

is one of the most rugged sensors available, it can be

destroyed by improper welding. WIKA can supply V-PAD

®

test thermocouples on request for

practice welding if required.

6.6 V-PAD

®

welding

■

Clamp the V-PAD

®

(using a chain clamp!) to the appropriate location on the pipe. Avoid

damaging the outer surface of the V-PAD

®

when clamping.

Ensure there is good line contact with the tube (see gure 1). Avoid tilting the

V-PAD

®

and ensure the edge makes good contact with the tube (see gure 2).

Ensure good axial alignment with the tube axis (see gure 4). This will ensure

any dierential expansion of the MI cable is smooth and does not bind with the

tube clips.

■

Preheat the area to be welded (including the V-PAD

®

) as appropriate for the materials.

■

Tack weld one end of the V-PAD

®

. Visually check alignment before proceeding with the

root pass. Watch for tilt, gap, line contact, etc.

■

Attach a thermocouple meter to the cold end of the thermocouple for measurement.

WARNING!

The temperature readings while welding the V-PAD

®

should not exceed 800 °C

(1,500 °F). If temperature readings exceed 800 °C (1,500 °F), interrupt welding

for 5 minutes before continuing welding.

■

Apply the root pass on both sides. Melt into the rst root pass for complete penetration

(see gure 3). Avoid melting through the V-PAD

®

wall.

■

Check interpass temperatures and add additional passes as required to ll the joint.

■

A minimum of three passes per side are required.

■

Control cooling rate of the weld area, if required.

6.7 Tube clip welding

■

Attach clips at predetermined locations. Preheat area before welding if required.

Weld tube clip ends only and ensure there is a loose t (no friction) between the

mineral-insulated cable and the clip (see gure 5).

■

The tube clip should allow axial expansion of the mineral-insulated cable.

■

Weld clips on the same plane as the sensor approximately 150 mm (6") to 300 mm (12")

from the V-PAD

®

then at a maximum of every 300 mm (12") to 450 mm (18") of run

(see gure 6).

6.8 Expansion loops

Expansion loops should be designed to account for maximum tube movement from start up

position to operating temperature. Loops should be designed in accordance with allowable

space available. Examples of expansion loops are S-loop, multiple coil, single coil and spiral

loop.

6.11 Cable connections

The cable gland must be sealed to ensure that the required protection class is reached.

Requirements for meeting ingress protection

■

Only use cable glands within their indicated clamping range (cable diameter suitable for

the cable gland).

■

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

■

Only use circular cross-section 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 eect on the protection class.

■

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

tightened.

CAUTION!

Seal should be checked for signs of brittleness and, if necessary, replaced.

6.12 Tapered threads (NPT)

Connections with tapered threads (NPT) are self-sealing. It should be checked whether it

may be necessary to seal them additionally with PTFE tape or thread sealant. The threads

must be lubricated with a suitable lubricant before tting.

Tighten the threads by hand when carrying out the nal assembly in the plant. Correspond

to the delivery status of the premounted components. The nal tightening and sealing must

be made with a wrench (1.5 to 3 rotations).
