Data sheet Date Page THERMOMETRIC ASSEMBLY FOR SURFACE MEASUREMENT TYPE TCT870 Thermocouple probes for surfaces temperatures. APPLICATIONS • • • Surface temperature measurement on steam pipes, inside or outside vessels and reactors Temperature measurement on walls or flat surfaces Special executions for explosive environments ATEX certified : 0496 DESCRIPTION These PCI “Thermo-Sensor“ probes are provided with a single thermocouple sensor, placed inside a flexible metal sheath. With connection head, with or without lag extension, process connection on request. Sealing if necessary by a compression fitting on the sheathed cable. The spirals of the sheathed cable serve to compensate the dimensional changes due to thermal expansion between the measuring point and the process connection or the connection head fixation. They also protect against a cable failure due to vibration. For explosive environments, executions meeting the requirements of EN 60079-0 “Electrical apparatus for potentially explosive atmospheres (general requirements)”, EN 60079-1 (flameproof enclosure “d”) or EN 60079-11 (intrinsic safety “i”) are available OPTIONS Temperature probes may be assembled on request with temperature transmitters directly mounted into the connection head or remote analogue digital “HART”® or “PROFIBUS” ® HOW TO ORDER Please specify: model, type of sensor, range, type of sensor, options if any Example “HART” _______________________________________________________________________________________________ PCI (Process System Solutions) Ltd, Unit 7 Slaidburn Crescent, Southport, Merseyside, PR9 9YF, UK, Tel: +44 (0) 1704 509090, Fax: +44 (0) 1704 509091, email: [email protected], Website: www.pci-instruments.com (Specifications are subject to change without notice)
