3.2 Application
The temperature sensors of the SITRANS TS product family are used for measuring temperatures
in industrial plants.
Depending on the specications, sensors can be combined with dierent 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
3.3 Functional principles
Two dierent 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 eect). The
thermocouples are in accordance with IEC 584/DIN EN 60584.
