VI. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Why can the product only be used in vacuum or inert gas atmosphere?
A: Tungsten material is prone to oxidation failure in oxidizing atmosphere above 800℃, and tungsten-rhenium alloy wire will also experience decreased measurement accuracy due to oxidation. Therefore, it must be used in vacuum, hydrogen, or inert gas atmosphere to avoid oxidative damage.
Q: How to choose between single type and duplex type?
A: The single type is suitable for single temperature measurement point needs, with a simple structure and lower cost; the duplex type can monitor the temperature of the same position or different positions simultaneously, adapting to multi-channel control systems with more reliable redundant design.
Q: Is the tungsten protective tube prone to embrittlement?
A: Pure tungsten material has certain anti-embritlement performance, and the use in vacuum/inert gas atmosphere can further avoid embrittlement. During use, severe impact should be avoided, and the thermocouple should be taken out after the temperature drops below 500℃ when shutting down to extend the service life.
Q: What are the special requirements for product calibration?
A: Calibration can only be performed in vacuum or inert gas atmosphere, with a maximum calibration temperature of 1700℃. The calibration standard refers to GB/T 29822-2013. It is recommended to contact the manufacturer or a professional third-party institution for calibration.
Q: What is the customization range of the high-pressure resistant device?
A: High-pressure resistant devices suitable for different pressure levels can be customized according to customer needs, which are usually adapted to high-pressure vacuum environments. Specific pressure parameters need to be communicated and confirmed with the manufacturer in advance to ensure adaptation to working conditions.
Q: What is the service life of the product?
A: The service life is ≥1000 hours in 2100℃ vacuum environment; ≥500 hours in 2200℃ extreme working conditions. The specific service life is affected by working temperature and atmosphere type, and proper use can extend the service life.
VII. Usage and Maintenance Instructions
During installation, ensure the tungsten protective tube is fully inserted into the measured area, and the insertion depth is not less than 15 times the diameter of the protective tube to avoid measurement errors.
Strictly use the product in the specified atmosphere, and prohibit long-term operation in oxidizing atmosphere (≥800℃) to prevent oxidation of the tungsten tube and thermocouple wire.
Distinguish positive and negative poles during wiring, and keep the junction box away from high-temperature areas (distance ≥30cm) to avoid overheating and aging of terminals, which may affect signal transmission.
Regularly (every 3 months) inspect the appearance and sealing performance of the protective tube. If cracks, damage, or seal failure occur, replace it in a timely manner.
During transportation and storage, cover both ends of the protective tube with protective caps to avoid collision damage; store in a dry and well-ventilated environment (humidity ≤60%RH) to prevent moisture.
