Thermo-Taurus disposable thermocouple for precise temperature measurement
Thermo-Taurus is a disposable thermocouple for accurate temperature measurement of molten steel and high-temperature-resistant metals. Developed for industrial processes, it delivers reproducible measurement results within seconds. The disposable design prevents measurement deviations due to wear or residues.
Disposable thermocouple for steel and high-temperature metals
Temperature measurement is based on the thermoelectric effect. Thermo-Taurus is designed for measuring ranges from 1,200 to 1,700 °C and reaches maximum temperatures of up to 1,820 °C. Short response times of 4–6 seconds ensure fast process decisions.
Thermocouple types 602 and 604
The disposable thermocouples are available in two contact designs:
- Type 602: Round contact
- Type 604: Triangular contact

Use of disposable thermocouple tips
- Select the length of the protective paper sleeve to match the measuring range.
- Attach the thermocouple tip to the measuring lance.
- Set the measuring device to zero.
- Immerse the tip 300–400 mm deep into the molten steel. Do not
- touch the furnace wall.
- Measure for a maximum of 5 seconds.
- Remove the thermocouple immediately and replace it.
- Wait a few minutes before taking the next measurement.
