Refractory Drilling System
The Delta Controls Model HRG Refractory Drilling System protects the thermocouple’s clearance into the vessel by drilling straight, centered, and perpendicular holes. Using the HRG ensures successful installation of the Delta Controls Model HTP, HTX, HTS, and HTV thermocouples which require close tolerances in the borehole through the refractory.
The HRG guide is mounted on the vessel nozzle flange and keeps the core drill bit on the centerline of the nozzle during drilling. The water swivel adapter and flow control valve deliver the proper amount of water to facilitate the drilling without introducing excessive water to the vessel interior. The final result is a straight hole that is properly positioned to accept the refractory thermowell and the thermocouple.
This precision hole permits proper insertion of the Model HRW refractory thermowell and provides proper clearances for refractory movement.
