Critical Technical Advantages
-
3D Temperature Mapping: The sensor cables are highly flexible and can be routed into almost any spatial configuration. This allows operators to visualize thermal gradients and pinpoint hot spots within chemical reactors or storage tanks using only one process connection.
-
Advanced Diagnostic Chamber: The TMS02 includes a dedicated chamber that serves as a secondary containment barrier. This chamber can be equipped with pressure monitoring sensors to detect primary seal leaks early, allowing for predictive maintenance before a process breach occurs.
-
Modular Sensor Configuration: The device can be designed for direct contact to achieve the fastest possible response times, or configured with guided tubes. These tubes allow individual sensors to be replaced without opening the vessel or interrupting the process.
-
High Vibration Resistance (iTHERM StrongSens): For applications involving high turbulence or mechanical stress, the TMS02 can be fitted with StrongSens RTDs, which are tested to withstand vibrations exceeding 60g.
-
Electronic Heat Protection: Integrated on-board protection shields the transmitters and electronics from radiant heat, ensuring long-term durability when the device is mounted on high-temperature process vessels.
-
Broad Technical Compliance: The sensor inserts comply with international standards including IEC 60584, ASTM E230, and IEC 60751, ensuring high accuracy and global interchangeability of parts.

Primary Applications
-
Petrochemical Reactors: Ideal for hydrocrackers and catalytic reformers where internal temperature distribution is critical for yield and safety.
-
Toxic or High-Pressure Media: Processes where a secondary safety barrier and leak detection are required to protect personnel and the environment.
-
Heavy Chemical Processes: Monitoring large-scale exothermic reactions where localized overheating must be detected across the entire vessel volume.
-
Distillation Columns: Providing multiple temperature data points across different trays to optimize the separation of chemical fractions.
-
Liquefied Gas Storage: Monitoring thermal stratification in large tanks to ensure stable storage conditions and detect potential stratification issues.
