Critical Technical Advantages
-
Standardized Modular Design: Built in accordance with DIN 43772, the TT131 ensures global compatibility and easy integration into existing industrial systems. It is available in a wide range of diameters and materials to suit diverse application needs.
-
Optimized Thermal Response: The thermowell features a specially designed tip that minimizes thermal mass. This allows for faster heat transfer to the internal sensor, resulting in quicker response times and more precise process control.
-
iTHERM QuickNeck Compatibility: When paired with compatible iTHERM inserts, the TT131 supports the QuickNeck system. This patented technology allows for tool-free, rapid removal of the measurement insert, making recalibration up to 75% faster and reducing the risk of wiring errors.
-
Extreme Corrosion Protection: For environments involving highly aggressive chemicals, the TT131 can be equipped with protective oversheaths made of PTFE or tantalum. These materials provide an extra layer of defense that standard stainless steel cannot offer.
-
Versatile Process Integration: To accommodate various piping and vessel configurations, the TT131 is offered with a comprehensive selection of process connections, including standard flanges, threads, weld-in versions, and compression fittings.
-
High Pressure Resistance: Despite being a welded construction (as opposed to solid barstock), the TT131 is engineered to withstand process pressures up to 100 bar (1,450 psi), making it suitable for a vast majority of mid-to-high pressure industrial loops.
