NITROCARB

NITROCARBURIZING SENSOR 

NitroCarb™ is a vacuum-tight oxygen sensor for nitrocarburizing processes. A fully gas-tight design, coupled with low-temperature operation and a special sheath, allows the NitroCarb™ to work in all FNC environments where other probes simply cannot. 

The Inconel 600 Sheath is vented to prevent accumulated moisture during high dew-point heat ups. Electrode design is tailored to nitrocarburizing temperatures up to 550°C (1022°F). Probe also provides a signal to the control instrumentation to calculate the Kc potential.
