PRECISE SURFACE TEMPERATURE
Thermo Electric Instrumentation is your go-to supplier for Tube Skin Thermocouples and Temperature Sensors across various industrial sectors. Our thermocouples deliver precise surface temperature measurement in process furnaces and boilers. Protection pads ensure durability by reducing damage from flames and radiant heat.
OPTIMUM SENSOR EFFICIENCY
Our sensors are engineered for optimum contact with the tube surface.
EXPANSION LOOP FEATURES
Consider expansion loops for strain-free operation during temperature variations in the furnace.
SHEATH MATERIAL OPTIONS
Choose from SS310, SS446, Hastelloy, or HR160 sheaths for your mineral-insulated cables.
SPECIALISED CABLE PROTECTION
We offer mineral-insulated cables with diameter ranges from 1.5mm to 12.7mm.
Tube skin thermocouples for fired heater and boiler monitoring
Thermo Electric designs tube skin thermocouples for accurate surface temperature measurement on fired heaters, boilers, reformers and process furnaces. These assemblies help operators monitor tube conditions where heat transfer, process safety and asset life are closely connected.
Sensors can be engineered around tube geometry, mounting method, process temperature, sheath material, routing, response time and plant documentation requirements, supporting both new installations and replacement projects.
Common applications
- Fired process heaters and reformers
- Boilers, furnaces and high-temperature process equipment
- Tube wall temperature monitoring and protection
- Refinery, petrochemical and chemical plants
- Replacement assemblies for maintenance and turnaround projects
Tube skin thermocouple FAQs
Tube skin thermocouples measure the outside temperature of process tubes in heaters, furnaces and boilers, helping operators monitor heat transfer, performance and tube protection.
Yes. Assemblies can be designed around existing tube geometry, attachment method, routing, materials and site documentation requirements.
Tube skin sensors operate in high heat and harsh process environments, so sheath materials, attachment style, insulation and cable routing all affect durability and measurement reliability.
Yes. Thermo Electric can manufacture replacement tube skin thermocouples and support projects with testing, traceability and documentation for plant maintenance teams.
