Evidence Notes
High-dust high-temperature probe architecture
Cement-kiln sampling combines high stack temperature with heavy particulate loading. The v1 architecture uses Inconel 625 construction, a ceramic filter option, and blowback planning so the extraction point can be matched to kiln dust and temperature conditions.
Probe and filter boundary
This SKU defines the stack-mounted extraction point. Heated-line control, analyzer conditioning, and cabinet-side sample handling remain downstream system selections rather than part of the probe body.

01 Operating Envelope
Use these limits as selection inputs, then confirm sample condition, ambient exposure, and materials before quotation.
Corrosive Agents
- Reducing atmospheres with high sulfur require Inconel 625
- Hastelloy C-276 option listed for corrosive duty
Wetted Materials
- Stack temperature above 800 C
- Stack pressure outside -100 to +500 mbar
- Dust loading above 50 g/m3 without separate probe and filter engineering review
- Condensing or reactive gas duty without heating or a downstream heated sampling system
02 Maintenance & Spares confirmed
Tasks, consumables, and access items are shown only when structured maintenance data is available.
- Select 2 µm filter elements for CEMS protection or 10-20 µm elements for high-dust service with planned blowback
- Inspect bayonet quick-connect seals and heated-line connection during filter service
- Set blowback interval from measured dust loading and observed filter differential behavior
- Review Inconel or Hastelloy material selection when temperature or corrosive chemistry changes
- Sintered SS316L filter elements
- Ceramic filter elements
- Quick-connect seal parts
03 Application Evidence
Reviewed application context for engineering selection.
Application Context
Cement-kiln exhaust at 750 °C with 30 g/m³ dust loading destroys standard SS316L sampling probes within weeks, so probe replacement becomes a recurring outage driver rather than a periodic maintenance item.
Architecture Response
GS-SCS-400 with Inconel 625 construction and a 10 µm ceramic filter element supports multi-quarter service in the same conditions, so cement-kiln probe replacement aligns with planned outages instead of unplanned ones.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I need an Inconel probe vs SS316L?
Inconel 625 is required for stack temperatures above 500°C or in reducing atmospheres with high sulfur. SS316L is adequate for most applications up to 400°C in oxidizing conditions.
What filter pore size should I select?
2 µm for CEMS applications (fine enough to protect analyzers, coarse enough to avoid rapid clogging). 10-20 µm for high-dust applications (cement, steel) where frequent blowback is planned.
How does the quick-connect system work?
The bayonet fitting allows probe removal and replacement without disconnecting the heated sample line. Twist 90° and pull — no tools required. This is critical for minimizing CEMS downtime during filter maintenance.
Can I add heating to an existing unheated probe?
Yes, the modular design accepts retrofit heating jackets. Contact application engineering for the heating upgrade kit specific to the probe length and flange configuration.
What is the recommended blowback interval?
Depends on dust loading: <5 g/m³ = every 4-8 hours, 5-20 g/m³ = every 1-2 hours, >20 g/m³ = every 15-30 minutes. The GS-SCS-800 controller can automate blowback timing based on your conditions.
