Resistance Thermometers with Ignition Protection Exia
These immersion and insertion resistance thermometers comprise a rugged installation fitting made of stainless steel with thread, flange or weld-on connection, a painted aluminium connection head, and a removable measuring element (except models TWL-ST, -SN, and -SA). The insert can be replaced without emptying the installation (with the exception of TWL-ST, -SN and -SA), because the customised thermowell remains in the installation and seals the process. The instruments are supplied with ignition protection Exia as standard so can be installed in relevant hazardous areas.
A 2, 3 or 4 wire Pt100 rated to IEC 751, category A or B is fitted in each measuring insert. Alternatively, the 2 or 3 wire versions can be designed as a single or double Pt100 thermometer. Optional head transmitters, encapsulated in epoxide resin inside the connection head, are available to transmit measuring signals noise-free over long distances, with either a 4-20 mA signal , or with HART® protocol or PROFIBUS®/Fieldbus. The immersion length, connection head, materials, process connection and tolerance classes can all be customised to meet your requirements.
These resistance thermometers with thread-, flange- or weld-on connection are ideal for temperature measurement in liquids, solids and gaseous media. The reliable water tightness of these installation methods is critical when dealing with gauge pressure and vacuum. Applications include the air-conditioning and cooling industry, and heating-, furnace-, mechanical- and apparatus-construction. Supplied with ignition protection Exia, these ATEX Exia resistance thermometers are perfect in hazardous areas.
