Thermometer - axial - for higher temperature, D 63/L 300 mm

Product detailed description

This axial thermometer is designed for integration into high-temperature industrial and commercial heating systems. It is commonly used in boiler rooms, heat exchangers, and industrial process lines where accurate temperature monitoring is essential for operational safety and efficiency. The device is installed in locations where the medium under measurement can reach up to 500 °C, such as steam lines or hot water circuits. It is particularly suited for environments where space constraints require compact sensor placement and reliable long-term performance.

The thermometer is mounted directly into the system using a threaded connection, ensuring secure positioning and minimal disruption to the flow of the measured medium. It is typically used alongside control and safety systems to provide real-time feedback for regulation and diagnostics. The absence of a built-in well means it requires separate installation into a well or pipe fitting, which must be selected according to the system’s hydraulic and thermal conditions.

Technical parameters

The thermometer has a temperature range from 0 °C to +500 °C, making it suitable for high-temperature environments. The 300 mm length of the well ensures sufficient immersion depth for accurate readings in larger pipes or vessels. With a diameter of 63 mm, it provides a stable and robust design for industrial use. These parameters are critical when selecting the appropriate sensor for a given installation, ensuring compatibility with the system’s size and operating conditions.

Installation and connection

To install the thermometer, ensure the external 1/2 inch male thread is clean and free of debris before connecting to the system. Use a sealing compound or gasket to prevent leaks. The rear connection method requires the sensor to be inserted from behind the mounting flange or fitting. Verify that the mounting surface is flat and aligned to avoid stress on the threads. Common installation errors include insufficient tightening, misalignment, and failure to use a separate well, which can lead to inaccurate readings or damage to the sensor.

Compatibility and accessories

This thermometer is compatible with systems that use external 1/2 inch male thread connections. As the well is not included, it must be ordered separately. Ensure that the well or fitting is sized correctly to accommodate the 63 mm diameter sensor. Accessories such as sealing compounds, gaskets, and mounting brackets should also be considered to ensure a secure and leak-free installation.

Technical background for designers

This thermometer operates by measuring the thermal expansion of the sensing element within the medium. The body is constructed from materials suitable for high-temperature environments, ensuring durability and resistance to thermal stress. The axial design allows for direct insertion into the medium, reducing response time and improving accuracy. Proper integration into the system involves positioning the sensor in a location with representative temperature and minimal turbulence. The service life and efficiency of the thermometer depend on the quality of the installation, the stability of the mounting, and the integrity of the sealing.

Service and operation

Periodic checks should be carried out to ensure the sensor remains securely mounted and that the connection is free from leaks. Inspect the threads for signs of wear or corrosion and reapply sealing compound if necessary. Monitor the readings for consistency and recalibrate if required. No specific service intervals are provided, but regular visual inspections are recommended to maintain operational reliability.

Frequently asked questions

Can this thermometer be used in steam systems?
Yes, it is suitable for use in steam systems within the specified temperature range. Ensure the mounting well is compatible with steam conditions.

Is a separate well required for installation?
Yes, the thermometer does not include a well. A suitable well must be installed separately to house the sensor.

What type of thread is used for connection?
The thermometer features an external 1/2 inch male thread for connection to the system.

Can this thermometer be mounted in horizontal or vertical positions?
Yes, it can be mounted in either orientation, provided the installation allows for proper immersion and sealing.
