THERMOCOUPLE PROCTECTION TUBES (TPT)
Cast iron protection tubes are rugged and durable yet economical for use in molten metal contact applications. These tubes are used to protect the MIT where it is necessary to measure melt temperatures in the furnace bed filtration or other areas of the process.
