FAQ

Purpose and characteristics of the carbon steel measurement port

The carbon steel measurement port is a component designed to create safe and repeatable measurement points in chimneys and flue gas ducts. It enables measurements of pressure, temperature and emission parameters in typical industrial and district heating installations. As standard, an M64x4 measurement port with an internal thread is offered, available off the shelf, allowing the chimney to be quickly equipped with a point for connecting measurement probes. Carbon steel measurement ports for chimneys represent an economical solution for both new and modernized flue gas exhaust systems, especially where additional anti-corrosion protection can be applied.

Carbon steel – an economical solution for standard operating conditions

The carbon steel measurement port is manufactured from robust structural steel suitable for operation under typical temperature and operating conditions of industrial chimneys. This solution is most often chosen where a favorable price-to-functionality ratio is crucial and the installation operates under conditions that allow the use of protective coatings or periodic inspections. Carbon steel measurement ports perform well in systems with moderately aggressive flue gases, provided that appropriate surface protection is applied. Thanks to a stable thread and sufficient material rigidity, they ensure secure mounting of measurement probes and maintain tightness at the installation point.

Flanged or non-flanged design – adaptation to the chimney and installation

The carbon steel measurement port can be supplied in a flanged or non-flanged version, allowing the installation method to be adapted to a specific system. The flange is designed and manufactured with the pipe diameter in mind, making it easy to integrate measurement ports for industrial chimneys into existing flue gas ducts. Measurement ports prepared in this way provide stable positioning and convenient access for measurement teams, without the need to interfere with other elements of the installation. Dimensional and structural flexibility facilitates installation in both new and modernized chimneys.
