Why would I use a tubeskin thermocouple?

Temperature measurement in heaters or furnaces is extremely important and the tubeskin thermocouple is one of the best ways to determine if the temperature is in the right range.

What is a tubeskin thermocouple?

Tubeskin thermocouples are used for measuring the temperature of tubes in heaters or furnaces. The thermocouple measures the skin temperature of the tube itself.

In order to replace an XTRACTO-PAD® (model TC59-X) assembly do I need to buy all the accessories?

No. The tube clips, guide tube with weld-pad and the heat shield will be reused. Only the sensor element needs to be replaced. No welding is required.
