6.3 Temperature probe
6.3.1 Pipe preparation
Rust, paint or deposits on the pipe isolate the temperature at the measuring point. A good thermal contact between the
pipe and the temperature probe is obtained as follows:
• Clean the pipe at the selected measuring point.
– Remove any insulation material, rust or loose paint.
– If present, the paint layer has to be smoothed by grinding. The paint does not need to be removed completely.
• Use coupling foil or apply a layer of thermal conductivity paste or coupling compound on the contact surface of the
temperature probe. Observe the corresponding operating temperature range.
• Observe that there must be no air pockets between the contact surface of the temperature probe and the pipe wall.
6.3.2 Installation of the temperature probe (response time 50 s)
Select the installation instructions according to the supplied clasp:
• for the installation with clasp see section 6.3.2.1
• for the installation with FLEXIM clasp see section 6.3.2.2
• for the installation with quick release clasp see section 6.3.2.3
6.3.2.1 Installation with clasp
• Cut the tension strap to length (pipe circumference + at least 120 mm).
• Make sure that part (2) of the clasp is on top of part (1) (see Fig. 6.35 a). The hooks of part (2) have to be on the outer
side of the clasp.
• Pull approx. 20 mm of the tension strap through the slot of the clasp to fix the clasp to the tension strap (see Fig. 6.35 b).
• Bend the end of the tension strap.
• Position the temperature probe on the pipe (see Fig. 6.36).
• Place the tension strap around the temperature probe and the pipe.
• Insert the tension strap through the parts (2) and (1) of the clasp.
• Tighten the tension strap and engage it in the inner hook of the clasp.
• Tighten the screw of the clasp.
Caution!
Contact with grinding dust
This may result in injuries (e.g., breathing difficulties, skin reactions, eye irritations).
→ Wear the required personal protective equipment.
→ Observe the applicable rules.
Important!
The pipe has to be sufficiently stable to withstand the pressure exerted by the temperature probe.
Notice!
In case of great temperature differences, it is recommended to thermally insulate the temperature probe from its
environment.
Caution!
The edge of the tension strap is very sharp.
Risk of injury!
→ Debur sharp edges.
→ Wear the required personal protective equipment.
→ Observe the applicable rules.
