Description

Detailed Overview

A dedicated, compact Thermocouple Attachment Unit (TAU) used to safely and accurately weld thermocouple wires to metal components. It creates a secure spot weld for precise temperature sensing during heat treatment processes. The TAU provides an essential accessory for accurate temperature control, ensuring the integrity of the thermal cycle is measured reliably at the point of interest.


Essential, precise welding unit for attaching thermocouples for heat treatment.

  • This resistance-welding unit creates the necessary thermal junction to securely attach thermocouple wires directly to the workpiece, ensuring the most accurate temperature feedback during heating processes.
  • It provides quick, low-energy welds, minimizing surface damage.
  • The package includes the TAU90 welding unit, a welding gun/torch, and connection clips/leads for the workpiece and thermocouples.

Top Features & Benefits

  • Thermocouple Attachment Unit (TAU) for heat treatment.
  • Designed to weld thermocouple wires directly to the workpiece.
  • Lightweight and portable design.

FAQ: TAU90 – Thermocouple Attachment Unit

What is the purpose of a Thermocouple Attachment Unit?

It is a portable, battery-powered device used to weld or “hot-junction” a thermocouple wire directly onto a metal surface (e.g., a pipe) for accurate, temporary temperature measurement during heat treatment.

What is the advantage of ‘hot-junction’ welding?

It provides a highly secure and accurate thermal contact between the thermocouple and the test piece, which is critical for precision Post-Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) monitoring.
