Узел герметичного ввода многозонного датчика температуры в технологический сосуд

Номер: RU0000170902U1

Полезная модель относится к измерительной технике и может быть использована при измерении температурных полей с помощью многозонного датчика температуры в сосудах под давлением, например, в нефтеперерабатывающей промышленности при измерении температуры в катализаторах, используемых в установках гидрокрекинга. Предложен узел герметичного ввода многозонного датчика температуры в технологический сосуд, включающий диск с отверстиями, отделяющий внутреннее пространство сосуда от внешней среды, с пропущенными через отверстия датчиками температуры, армированными в месте прохода через них трубками. Причем торцы армирующих трубок приварены к оболочке датчиков с двух сторон, а сами армирующие трубки приварены к диску с его обеих сторон. Отличительной особенностью предлагаемого устройства является то, что армирующие трубки выполнены с толщиной стенки S1 в зоне приварки к оболочке датчика, находящейся в диапазоне 0,5Sd ≤ S1 ≤ 3Sd, а высота выступающей над поверхностью диска части армирующей трубки Н находится в диапазоне (S1+S2) ≤ Н ≤ 10,0(S1+S2), где Sd - толщина оболочки датчика, S1 - толщина армирующей трубки в зоне приварки к оболочке, а S2 – толщина армирующей трубки в зоне приварки к диску. Технический результат - повышение надёжности. 4 з.п. ф-лы, 5 ил.

Устройство для измерения температуры расплавленных материалов

Номер: RU0000189043U1

Полезная модель устройства для измерения температуры расплавленных материалов относится к измерительной технике. Устройство для осуществления измерения температуры расплава содержит погружной зонд с огнеупорным кварцевым световодом, установленным в огнеупорную втулку, запрессованную в картонную трубку. При этом конец кварцевого световода выступает из керамической втулки на определенную длину и его кончик покрыт огнеупорным оптически не прозрачным материалом с известным коэффициентом теплового излучения. Перед измерением зонд надевается на полый металлический жезл, внутри которого расположена оптоволоконная линия, соединяющая внутренний торец световода с приемником излучения. При погружении зонда в емкость с расплавом в течение короткого времени расплав разогревает кончик кварцевого световода и его тепловое излучение через световод и оптоволоконную линию передается к приемнику излучения. Технический результат - повышение точности измерения температуры расплава различных веществ вне зависимости от их коэффициента теплового излучения. 1 ил.
