Thermocouple Rake Assemblies —Duct, Flue & Stack Traversing

Thermometrics thermocouple rake assemblies mount multiple thermocouples across a duct, flue, or flow cross-section to measure the spatial temperature distribution of a gas stream. Used in combustion performance testing, stack emissions monitoring, and gas turbine inlet and exhaust characterization.

ASME PTC Traverse Point Placement

For gas turbine performance testing and boiler acceptance testing per ASME PTC 4 and PTC 22, traverse point placement must follow prescribed grid patterns. Thermometrics engineers rake geometry to match the required traverse grid — equal-area, log-linear, or Chebyshev — so each probe samples a representative area of the gas cross-section.
