Description
Resistance thermometers without thermowell are particularly suitable for those applications in which the metal sensor tip is mounted directly into bored holes (e.g. in machine components) or directly into the process for any application with no chemically aggressive media or abrasion. For mounting into a thermowell, a spring-loaded compression fitting should be provided, since only this can press the measuring tip into the bottom of the thermowell. Otherwise a potentially critical force could be exerted on the measuring tip. Mounting is usually made directly into the process. Fastening elements such as threaded fittings, union nuts, etc. can also be used. The flexible part of the probe is a mineral-insulated cable (sheathed cable). It consists of a stainless steel outer sheath in which the internal lead is pressed and isolated within a high-density ceramic mass. The measuring resistor is connected directly to the internal leads of the sheathed cable and is, therefore, also suitable for use at higher temperatures.
Due to their flexibility and the small possible diameters, sheathed resistance thermometers can also be used in locations that are not easily accessible, since, with the exception of the sensor tip and the transition sleeve of the connection cable, the sheath can be bent to a radius of three times the diameter of the cable.
Please note:
The flexibility of the sheathed resistance thermometer must be considered, especially when the flow rates are relatively high.
Optionally we can fit analogue or digital transmitters from the WIKA range into the connection head of the TR10-H.
