RTD (Resistance Thermometer Detector) with PT100 sensor

Product catalog summary

Overview: The RT100 data sheet provides detailed specifications and options for Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) designed for various process applications, including explosive environments. These RTDs are known for their high-quality construction, fast response, and mineral insulated probes.

Applications: RTDs are suitable for temperature measurements requiring short response times and can be mounted on pipes, open or closed vessels. They are applicable for a wide range of media, including vapors, gases, liquids, and non-abrasive substances. Special versions are available for explosive environments with ATEX certification.

Description: The RTDs can be equipped with one or two sensors and consist of a temperature sensor, terminal head, and process connection. They meet the requirements of EN 60079 standards for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Options: Various configurations are available, including temperature transmitters with analogue or digital outputs, thermowells, different connection types, lag extensions, reduced tips, and duplex types. An ATEX version is also available.

Ordering Information: Customers should specify the model, range, probe immersion and diameter, process connection, and any additional options when ordering.

Technical Specifications:

Terminal Heads: Standard and EExd heads are available, with protection up to IP 65. Installation position is limited to a maximum of 60° from vertical.
Operating Position: Unrestricted, provided the connection head is remote from the heat source.
Immersion Length: Recommended minimum lengths are provided to minimize errors.
Response Time: Indicative response times are given for different diameters and media, with variations possible due to manufacturing tolerances.
Explosive Environments: Specific requirements for installation in explosive zones are outlined, including the use of thermowells and compliance with EN 60079 standards.

Safety and Compliance: The document emphasizes the importance of adhering to regulations for explosive environments and provides details on the types of protection available, including flameproof enclosures and intrinsic safety measures.
