Critical Technical Advantages
-
Rapid Thermal Response: By eliminating the thermal mass of a separate thermowell, the TST310 provides nearly instantaneous temperature feedback. This is essential for monitoring high-speed machinery or dynamic laboratory experiments where even slight delays in data could affect process control.
-
Exceptional Installation Flexibility: The probe features customizable insertion lengths and a wide variety of process connections, such as compression fittings or threaded adapters. This allows it to be easily integrated into existing pipework, engine blocks, or small-scale laboratory apparatus.
-
High-Precision Sensing: Available with single or double Pt100 sensors, the TST310 can be configured with accuracy classes A, B, or AA (according to IEC 60751). This ensures high-resolution data for applications ranging from general industrial monitoring to high-precision scientific research.
-
Hazardous Area Reliability: The TST310 is certified for use in explosive atmospheres with protection types including Intrinsic Safety (Ex ia) and Non-Sparking (Ex nA). This allows for safe operation in chemical plants or fuel-handling systems where flammable gases or liquids may be present.
-
Marine and Offshore Readiness: With official marine approvals, this cable probe is qualified for the rigorous demands of shipboard environments, including engine room monitoring, HVAC systems, and cargo hold temperature tracking.
-
Durable Lead Wire Options: To match different environmental conditions, the cable can be specified with various insulation materials (such as PVC, Silicone, or PTFE) and optional stainless steel overbraiding for enhanced mechanical protection against abrasion and vibration.
