From the preheater to the clinker cooler, our AR thermocouples are built for the entire calcining process. The bonded multi-layer architecture resists mechanical fatigue and thermal stress. With decades of high-temperature sensing expertise, BASF ECMS delivers more than a sensor—we provide a solution that lasts.
Abrasion-Resistant Thermocouple
Built to brave the blaze — Our Abrasion Resistant (AR) Thermocouple delivers exceptional durability and reliability in the harshest calcining environments.
Engineered specifically for clinker and kiln service, the AR Thermocouple from BASF ECMS is designed to extend uptime and minimize maintenance in high-temperature, high-wear applications. Our proprietary multi-layer design resists common failure modes—including erosion, corrosion, and vibration—providing up to 4X longer service life than conventional probes. With compression-style fittings and custom length/material options, installation is faster, deeper, and more secure.
Operating range up to 2300℉ (≈1260℃)
Compression-style fittings allow easy and adjustable installation
Ruggedized thermowell and inner protection tube
Up to 4X longer service life
Custom designs tailored to your process
Designed for Demanding Kiln Conditions
