THERMOMETRIC ASSEMBLY FOR SURFACE MEASUREMENT TYPE
TCT870

Thermocouple probes for surfaces temperatures.
APPLICATIONS
•
•
•

Surface temperature measurement on steam pipes,
inside or outside vessels and reactors
Temperature measurement on walls or flat surfaces
Special executions for explosive environments
ATEX certified :
0496

II 1/2 G/D

DESCRIPTION
These PCI “Thermo-Sensor“ probes are provided with a
single thermocouple sensor, placed inside a flexible
metal sheath. With connection head, with or without lag
extension, process connection on request. Sealing if
necessary by a compression fitting on the sheathed
cable.
The spirals of the sheathed cable serve to compensate
the dimensional changes due to thermal expansion
between the measuring point and the process

connection or the connection head fixation. They also
protect against a cable failure due to vibration.
For explosive environments, executions meeting the
requirements of EN 60079-0 “Electrical apparatus for
potentially
explosive
atmospheres
(general
requirements)”, EN 60079-1 (flameproof enclosure “d”)
or EN 60079-11 (intrinsic safety “i”) are available
OPTIONS
Temperature probes may be assembled on request with
temperature transmitters directly mounted into the
connection head or remote
analogue
digital “HART”® or “PROFIBUS” ®
HOW TO ORDER
Please specify: model, type of sensor, range, type of
sensor, options if any
Example
“HART”
