60 without the protective fitting are intended for
applications, where their advantages such as fast response
to temperature changes, flexible stem, small dimensions and
sheath resistance to corrosion become apparent.
High accuracy and stability of output signal are strong sides of
resistance sensors. Thermoelectric sensors are very resistant
to high pressure, usable in vacuum and have higher stability of
output signal in comparison to wire thermocouples.
Standard thermocouple sensors with isolated measuring
end are due to its electromagnetic shielding suitable for work
together with measuring centers and control systems.
Resistance and thermocouple sensors can be used with or
without fastening elements as for example fixing shift pipe
unions etc. Version of sensor with flange is suitable as a part
of sensor without protective fitting, into thermowell and with
thermowell (e.g. ModuTEMP
®
70).
3.2 Description
Flexible sheath resistance and thermocouple temperature
sensors FlexiTEMP
®
60 without protective tubes and
thermowells are supplied in length from 100 mm up to several
tens of meters with an outer diameter of the sheath 3 / 4.5 / 6
mm (Pt100) and 0.5 / 0.8 / 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 3 / 4.5 / 6 mm (TC “J“, “K“,
“N“). These thermocouples are as standard supplied with the
sheath made of stainless steel 1.4404 for resistance sensors,
1.4541 for thermocouple “J“ or Inconel 600 (2.4816), Nicrobell/
Pyrosil for thermocouple “K“ and “N“. Resistance sensors are
supplied with single or double sensor Pt100.
Measuring ends of thermocouple sensors are manufactured in
insulated singe or dual sensor. After agreement the grounded
or opened version or triple version can be supplied.
Cold ends of sheath resistance sensors and thermocouples
are supplied with flying leads, with connected connection
wires (for or compensation wires for TC) with optional isolation
material, with flat standard connector or mini connector (only
for TC), small head MA (with or without connecting thread)
or with 42 mm diameter flange with option to mount ceramic
terminal block or transmitter (exchangeable measuring insert).
Sheath resistance and thermocouple sensors with mineral
isolation may be freely bent (resistance sensors cannot be
bent in length 40 mm from measuring end) while observing the
minimal radius of the bend (5x outer diameter of the sheath).
