Resistance thermometers or thermocouples can be used for temperature measurement.
The temperature sensors of the SITRANS TS product family are used for measuring
temperatures in industrial plants.
Depending on the specifications, sensors can be combined with different connection heads,
extension tubes, and process connections. This makes the sensors suitable for a variety of
process engineering applications, in the following sectors:
● Petrochemical industry
● Pharmaceuticals industry
● Biotechnology
● Food production
Two different measuring principles are used for measuring temperatures.
● With resistance thermometers, the temperature is measured as a change in resistance.
Resistance thermometers, also called Resistance Temperature Devices (RTD), contain
sensor elements, like the Pt100 sensor elements in accordance with IEC 60751.
● With thermocouples, the temperature is the change in voltage (Seebeck effect). The
thermocouples are in accordance with IEC 584/DIN EN 60584.
