Armored Rtds

Explosion-proof Design
These sensors feature a robust explosion-proof head construction, meticulously engineered to contain any potential internal explosions and prevent the ignition of surrounding explosive atmospheres. They comply with strict international explosion-proof standards, such as ATEX (for Europe), IECEx (international), and FM (in the United States), ensuring reliable operation in Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas where flammable gases, vapors, or dust may be present.

Multi-point Temperature Sensing
Unlike single-point sensors, multi-point RTD sensors are capable of measuring temperature at several locations simultaneously. This enables comprehensive monitoring of large equipment, pipelines, or storage tanks. By providing multiple temperature readings, operators can detect temperature gradients, hotspots, or abnormal temperature variations, which are essential for early fault detection and process optimization. For example, in a long oil pipeline, multi-point sensors can identify sections where heat loss is excessive or where there may be blockages causing temperature changes.

High Precision and Accuracy
Utilizing high-quality RTD elements, typically made of platinum (Pt100 is a common type), these sensors offer excellent precision and accuracy in temperature measurement. They can achieve temperature measurement accuracies within ±0.1°C to ±0.3°C over a wide temperature range, from -200°C to 600°C or even higher in some specialized models. This level of accuracy ensures that the temperature data obtained is reliable for critical process control and safety monitoring applications.

Durable and Reliable
Built to withstand the harsh conditions of the oil and gas industry, these sensors are constructed from durable materials such as stainless steel, which provides resistance to corrosion from oil, gas, moisture, and chemicals. They are also designed to endure mechanical vibrations, shocks, and extreme temperature fluctuations that are common in oil rigs, refineries, and other oil and gas facilities. With a long service life and low maintenance requirements, they offer a cost-effective solution for continuous temperature monitoring.

Flexible Installation
Explosion-proof head multi-point RTD sensors come with various installation options to suit different applications. They can be installed directly into process vessels, pipelines, or tanks using threaded, flanged, or weld-in connections. The sensor cables or wires are also designed for easy routing and connection to control systems, allowing for seamless integration into existing monitoring and automation setups.
