TSM clamp-on RTD: Applications
Clamp-on RTDs, like the TSM, offer versatile solutions for various applications, particularly in challenging environments. They address several industry challenges, including:
-
Hygienic solutions: Designed for sanitary applications, the TSM's IP69K protection class ensures easy cleaning and prevents contamination, making it ideal for food and pharmaceutical industries.
-
Space constraints: Their low-profile design and non-invasive measurement capabilities make them suitable for complex piping structures where traditional transmitters may be too large or invasive.
-
Harsh conditions: Built to withstand tough environments, the TSM can be installed in confined spaces, on small pipe diameters, and in systems handling aggressive media.
Overall, the TSM is an effective solution for reliable temperature monitoring in both industrial and hygienic applications, especially where traditional measurement methods are impractical.
Sanitary and cleaning applications
Pipeline heating in SIP processes: Clamp-on temperature sensors, when combined with invasive measuring points, ensure uniform heating of pipelines for effective sterilization in SIP (Sterilization-In-Place) processes. The TSM's sealing ring secures the measuring element tightly on the pipe, preventing medium entry and contamination.
Compact or complex piping structures
Temperature measurement on small pipes: Clamp-on sensors are ideal for small pipelines where invasive methods would disrupt flow or compromise accuracy. This approach avoids challenges in placing the sensor tip in tight spaces.
Flexible measuring points: Clamp-on sensors allow quick, tool-free installation on pipes without disrupting the process. These sensors can be easily repositioned as needed, making them versatile for dynamic setups.
Corrosive or aggressive media environments
Non-invasive temperature measurement of aggressive media: Clamp-on sensors prevent corrosion by having no direct contact with the medium. This design ensures stable, long-term temperature monitoring in environments with aggressive or corrosive substances.
Alternative for thermowell installations
Reduced installation complexity: Thermowells are often used to protect sensors from harsh conditions such as high pressure, fast flow rates, and aggressive or abrasive media. Clamp-on RTDs offer a cost-effective alternative that is easier to install.
