Critical Technical Advantages
-
3D Temperature Profiling: The primary advantage of the TMS01 is its flexibility. The sensor cables can be bent and routed into almost any configuration within a vessel. This enables the mapping of thermal gradients and the detection of “hot spots” in complex chemical reactions using a single process opening.
-
Modular and Customizable Design: The device can be configured for direct contact measurement to achieve the fastest response times, or it can be equipped with sensor-dedicated protecting tubes. These tubes allow for the replacement of individual sensors without opening the process or shutting down the plant.
-
Diverse Sensor Technology: The TMS01 is available with Thermocouple (TC) or RTD technology. For applications involving extreme vibration, it can be fitted with iTHERM StrongSens technology, ensuring long-term stability and resistance to mechanical fatigue.
-
On-Board Electronic Heat Protection: To ensure the longevity of the integrated electronics and transmitters, the TMS01 features specialized heat protection. This is vital when the device is mounted on high-temperature vessels where radiant heat could damage standard components.
-
Retrofit Compatibility: The flexible nature of the inserts means they can often be installed into existing thermowells already in place, making the TMS01 an excellent choice for upgrading legacy temperature monitoring systems.
-
Global Safety Compliance: The device is designed for use in hazardous locations and complies with various protection types (Ex i, Ex d, etc.). This ensures easy integration into the safety protocols of petrochemical and oil & gas facilities worldwide.
