  • Publication number: 20230266173
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes a protective tube for insertion into a pipe or vessel containing a medium, a measuring apparatus having such protective tube and to a method for producing the protective tube. The protective tube comprises a tubular member having a bore extending between an upper and lower end of the tubular member, and at least one helical fin formed on at least a section of an outer surface of the tubular member, winding around the outer surface of the tubular member and defining a flow channel along at least a part of the tubular member. An outer surface of the tubular member comprises a surface structure in an area of the at least one flow channel.

  • Publication number: 20230143794
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a measuring insert for insertion into a protective tube for determining and/or monitoring a temperature of a medium in a vessel or pipe, which protective tube at least partially protrudes into an inner volume of the vessel or pipe, the measuring insert including: an elongated tube; a temperature sensor arranged inside an end region of the measuring insert; and a coupling element connected to the elongated tube in the end region in which the temperature sensor is arranged, which coupling element is embodied and/or dimensioned so as to serve for fixing the measuring insert inside the protective tube in a state in which the measuring insert is introduced into the protective tube.

  • Publication number: 20230147830
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a coupling adapter for a measuring insert for determining and/or monitoring a temperature of a medium including a temperature sensor, which measuring insert can be introduced into a protective tube for accommodating the measuring insert. The coupling adapter includes a base body, including a bore with a diameter adapted to an outer diameter of the measuring insert, and a coupling element, which is arranged on an outer surface of the base body, which coupling element is embodied and/or dimensioned so as to serve for fixing the measuring insert inside the protective tube in a state in which the measuring insert is introduced into the protective tube. The present disclosure further includes an apparatus for determining and/or monitoring the temperature of a medium comprising such coupling adapter.

  • Patent number: 10913135
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a kit for manufacturing a modular sealing apparatus for an installation assembly, a modular sealing apparatus comprising such kit and an installation assembly comprising such modular sealing apparatus. The kit comprises at least one piston, one bushing, and one sealing element, wherein the piston and the bushing are assembleable and accommodate the measuring insert by a bore provided in the piston and in the bushing, wherein the piston is interactively connected with the bushing such that a pressure transmitted by the piston to the bushing serves to deform the at least one sealing element to seal the bore extending through the piston and the bushing, wherein the kit comprises a failure detection unit with at least one sensing element to detect at least one failure condition of the installation assembly, and an electronics embodied to convert the failure condition into a failure signal.
