Conax exhaust gas sensors for LM6000 T4.8 turbines

• Conax uses state-of-the-art materials to achieve mechanical strength and oxidation resistance.
• The Conax Hermetic termination head utilizes type K termination studs that are sized so cables cannot be cross wired.
• The Conax solution is interchangeable with OEM products, so it can be used on all LM6000 applications.
• The LM6000 T4.8 over sheath is made from state-of-the-art material sized for proper fit around the thermocouple tip. The Conax design does not require special shims that can vibrate loose.

FT8/G8 users are choosing Conax Technologies’ exhaust gas thermocouples (EGT) over OEM sensors in their aeroderivative ground-based turbines. The innovative design in the Conax EGTs has proven to be more accurate and last longer than the OEM sensors. The key enhancement of Conax Technologies’ design is the use of two (2) dual thermocouple probes rather than four (4) single thermocouple probes. Conax employs unique manufacturing techniques to create balanced loop resistance between all thermocouples. The result is a more robust and reliable design that offers the same two (2) circuit, four (4) point averaging temperature measurements as an OEM sensor with superior accuracy and reliability. Here’s what sets the Conax EGTs apart:

• Superior design and quality
• Proven higher reliability than OEM sensors
• Hermetically sealed for high accuracy and long life
• Simple, quick installation that saves time
• Interchangeable with OEM sensors
• Typically in stock to provide quick turn around time

These type K ungrounded thermocouples are manufactured using Special (+/-0.4%) limits and have a time response of 1.7 to 4.0 seconds, depending on the tip configuration. Conax Technologies manufactures these exhaust thermocouples with tip diameters from .062 diameter to .125. They are used on all heavy-duty gas turbines and are of the latest configuration for easy replacement. Just connect our thermocouple to the flexible, stainless steel braided cable for quick installation and longer life.

All specification-qualified exhaust gas and blade path thermocouples are manufactured from ASTM E585 thermocouple materials utilizing the highest purity insulation material yielding superior insulation resistance at elevated temperatures.

The thermocouples are manufactured and tested at various points during the manufacturing cycle to ensure the highest possible level of quality. Product testing includes helium leak testing, calibration, thermal shock, insulation resistance and hermeticity testing of sealing points.

Featuring Type K conductor wire with MgO insulation, these sensors are hermetically sealed in stainless steel for high-temperature oxidation resistance and feature vibration-resistant hermetic terminations and high-reliability mineral insulated cable.

The bearings of industrial rotating equipment operate under arduous conditions—often for considerable periods of time. The most reliable indicator of bearing condition is the temperature of the metal beneath the shoe. Recognition of rising temperature can provide a warning of the breakdown of the lubricating oil film, allowing machine shutdown and maintenance to take place before catastrophic failure of the bearing and possible damage to its mounting. Conax Miniature Bearing Sensors provide a simple and cost-effective method to monitor bearing temperatures. These sensors are for embedded applications where temperature monitoring is critical to machine performance and reliability. The unique bearing sensor wire seal prevents migration of oil along the sensor leads. Available with RTDs or thermocouple types J, K, T and E. Download Miniature Bearing Temperature Sensors
