Operating and process temperatures
Measuring resistors or thermocouples (in the mineral insulated thermocouple MTE) are used as
sensor elements with the following operating temperatures:
Resistance sensors:
#
area of application from - 196°C to + 600°C depending on sensor type
(PT100, Ni100 or PT1000)
Thermocouples in mineral insulated thermocouples:
#
area of application from - 200°C to max. + 1300°C depending on thermocouple (TC) type
(T, J, E, K, N, R or S)
Protection shells depending on material and welding process:
#
area of application from - 196°C to max + 1200°C
Because ambient temperatures of the connection point and the actual process temperature are
often very different, suitable planning is required to ensure that the process and connection head
and/or connection cable are safely decoupled. Separating elements must meet the minimum
requirements of DIN EN 60079-26. The pipe lengths must be adapted to the process temperature.
