News from Conax Technologies

Conax Buffalo Technologies announces the release of Transducer Gland (TG) assemblies with fiberglass-insulated thermocouple wire specially designed for applications where the sensor wire is exposed to process temperatures reaching up to 900°F (482.2°C). This assembly is targeted for use with vacuum and/or inert gas back-filled furnaces with vessel wall temperatures up to 200°F (93.3°C) and pressures not exceeding 300 psi. The assembly consists of bonded fiberglass-insulated/silicone impregnated thermocouple grade wires on the body side, with stripped bare wires passing through a Conax-manufactured transducer gland. The gland serves as a seal as well as a mounting device. An alternative high-temperature fiberglass wire for use with Type K thermocouples is also available with temperature capabilities up to 1400°F (760 °C). Sleeved insulation material on the wires exiting the cap side may be fiberglass/silicone impregnated, Teflon® or polyolefin. Available sealant materials for the transducer gland are Viton® and Teflon. These assemblies are available for all common thermocouple types, in 24 or 20 AWG wire size (20 AWG only for Type K). Conax Buffalo Technologies offers an extensive selection of standard and custom-engineered wire and probe seals, in various materials and mounting styles. All feature the Conax-designed “soft sealant” technology that uses the compression of a sealant material within the body housing to form a seal against liquids or gases. Gland assemblies are designed to seal on temperature probes, tubing and insulated or non-insulated conductors. Every Conax feedthrough delivers rugged, reliable service with superior performance. Conax Buffalo also manufactures thermocouple and RTD sensor assemblies for a variety of applications.
