Pyrometric rods for non-ferrous metal casting

Sensors for temperature measurement of molten aluminum

In SRC we manufacture sensors for immersion cast aluminum temperature measurement. For immersion, the measuring element (thermocouple) must be protected by a cover suitable for these processes, there are different models to cover all your needs.

The choice of cover will depend on the use for which it is needed and the features requested. Each of the covers has advantages and disadvantages with respect to thermal resistance, mechanics, the longevity or the cost.

Environmental and operating conditions are key to choosing the right material. For example, good mechanical resistance is needed in high-capacity melting furnaces and resistance to corrosion in maintenance furnaces. Consult our technicians and they will offer you the most appropriate solution for your process.

SRC is a company specializing in the production of temperature sensors (probes PT100, thermocouples and pyrometric rods for non-ferrous foundries). We have a team with extensive experience and state-of-the-art machinery for the production of sensors, prepared to meet and solve all types of needs of our clients.

Thanks to our constant innovation, we can supply custom-made sensors for temperature measurement of cast aluminum in very tight deadlines without this having an impact on the costs of these products.

How to order our Pyrometric Rods - Order code

These pyrometric rods have been specifically designed for temperature measurement in non-ferrous metal foundries, such as Zamak Aluminum, Copper, bronze, brass, tin or lead with special protection covers that ensure long life and high precision for the sensor.

Through this guide you will be able to select the appropriate model for your needs. If you need the help of a specialist, do not hesitate to contact us.

FCSN protection sleeves

FCSN protective sleeves with reinforcement

FCSN non-ferrous metal cast thermocouple protection sleeves have been designed for intensive use in extremely harsh environments. They are ideal for use in the aluminum industry, since they are repellent to aluminum, have excellent resistance to oxidation , chemical corrosion, abrasion and thermal shock. These covers are supplied tailored to the client, and can be produced with a metallic core, which gives it greater resistance and durability.

Silicon Nitride (Sialon) protection sheaths

Silicon nitride sheaths for cast metals of light alloys (aluminum, zinc, brass, etc). These protective boots are designed to offer significant cost and maintenance benefits due to their long life and low maintenance. They offer excellent resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, fast response speed, minimum immersion depth and long duration in continuous immersion.

Portable temperature measuring lances for non-ferrous metal casting

SRC manufactures long-lasting, high-precision portable sensors to perform temperature measurements in all types of non-ferrous foundries, guaranteeing fast and accurate measurement,

These portable lances can be used for temperature measurement in other industrial applications such as smoke channels, sulfuric atmospheres, electrolytic baths, etc.

Assembly instructions for aluminum covers

These Instructions are indicated to increase the durability of our covers. Although our covers are made of materials suitable for non-ferrous castings and have excellent characteristics such as high resistance to impacts, corrosion and thermal shock, these recommendations should be followed to extend the durability of these products.
These features give these sleeves a long life in temperature measurement of molten aluminum, zinc and copper alloys.
