Thermocouples

SIDERMES produces a broad range of platinum-platinum/rhodium (Pt-Pt/Rh) immersion thermocouples used to measure the temperature of melted metal for all applications. The SUPERTEMP immersion thermocouples are produced pursuant to the IPTS 68 and ITS 90 standards.
The SIDERMES immersion thermocouples are produced pursuant to quality standard ISO 9001:2000. They are compatible and interchangeable with the most widespread connection and instrument systems on the market. SIDERMES always seeks to meet the customer's needs by supplying higher quality products, ideas to reduce costs, alternative products and different offers.

Oxygen measurement

Our TOX probes measure the temperature and ppm of free oxygen in liquid metal, within 4 - 6 seconds. The two mV signals generated by the TOX probes are transmitted to the instrument, processed and visualized so as to display the values of temperature and ppm of free oxygen; furthermore, the value of %C or %Al dissolved in the bath of liquid steel is automatically calculated

Carbon measurement

Easy to use, the SUPERCARB S thermal analysis capsulesare designed to achieve fast and reliable values of %C in liquid steel.
Alternatively SIDERMES offers two types of immersion probes, INCARB, (carbon and bath temperature) in order to further decrease the tap-to-tap time, providing increased productivity. Both the capsules and the immersion probes use high precision thermocouples to analyze the cooling curve and find the relative liquidus temperature corresponding to the % of carbon.

Samplers

The SUPERSAMP samplers have been designed for fast, safe and direct sampling. Various versions are available, so that the most specific and easy sampling procedure and metal analysis can be achieved for every application. They provide the user with a representative sample of the liquid bath which, after a rapid surface cleaning, is ready for the chemical analysis. The lab preparation time is minimized by the special design of these samplers.

Combined probes

These probes are a combination of two or more "STANDARD" probes.
The available probes are:

• CET, temperature + sample,,
• CET-OX, temperature + sample and free oxygen
• TECARB , temperature + %C.  . 
• TOX, temperature + ppm of oxygen

Although recommended for automatic measurement systems, they may also be used with manual applications.

SUBLANCES

The SUBLANCE probes, used with automatic measurement systems, are designed to reduce the tap-to-tap time in the converter, avoiding direct and indirect costs due to the rotational movement of the converter (tilting). The available SUBLANCE sensors meet all measurement and sampling needs in all possible combinations, furthermore they can also determine the level of the bath in the converter.
The following versions are available:

• Te, temperature
• TOS, temperature + sample + ppm oxygen
• TCS, temperature + %C + sample
• TO, temperature + ppm oxygen
• BL, bath level

The SUBLANCE sensors are customized according to the specific needs of each customer.
