Critical Technical Advantages
-
Unmatched Modularity: The TM131 architecture allows for thousands of combinations of process connections, extension necks, and sensor types. This ensures the thermometer fits perfectly into your specific piping or vessel design without custom engineering.
-
Rapid Response Technology:
-
iTHERM QuickSens: This sensor design offers the world’s fastest response times for immersion temperature sensors, significantly improving process control and efficiency.
-
QuickLink Thermowell: Optimized thermal coupling ensures that temperature changes in the process are transmitted to the sensor element with minimal delay.
-
-
Extreme Vibration Resistance (iTHERM StrongSens): For applications involving heavy machinery or high flow rates, the StrongSens option provides vibration resistance greater than 60g. This drastically reduces sensor failure and extends the life of the measurement point.
-
Simplified Maintenance (iTHERM QuickNeck): The divisible QuickNeck allows the upper part of the thermometer (including the transmitter) to be removed from the process without the use of tools. This eliminates the need to disconnect wires or open the terminal head during recalibration, significantly reducing downtime.
-
Dual Seal Safety: For hazardous or high-pressure applications, the Dual Seal provides a second process barrier. In the unlikely event of a thermowell failure, this barrier prevents process media from escaping into the terminal head or the environment.
-
Integrated iTEMP Intelligence: The TM131 can be equipped with any modern iTEMP transmitter, supporting HART, PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, or IO-Link, along with optional Bluetooth connectivity for wireless mobile access.
