  • Product Description
  • Explosion-proof Multi-point Armored Thermoresistor

    Explosion-proof multi-point armored thermoresistors are a special structural variant ofPt100 platinum resistance thermometers, belonging to the same “family” as the thermocouples you learned about in the previous round—both are explosion-proof multi-point armored temperature sensors, differing only in their core temperature-sensing elements.

    Junction Box TypeWaterproof, Explosion-proof, Stainless Steel Flameproof EnclosureExplosion-proof environments must use explosion-proof models

    Product Features

    1. Accurate and Stable Temperature Measurement: Uses imported platinum resistance elements (Pt100), offering high precision, eliminating the need for compensation leads, and at a lower cost than thermocouples.

    2. Explosion-Proof Safety: The junction box features an explosion-proof design compliant with IEC standards, achieving an explosion-proof rating of dⅡCT6.

    3. Robust and Durable: Armored construction combined with a spring‑loaded temperature-sensing element ensures pressure resistance, vibration tolerance, and a long service life.

    4. Multi‑Point Integration: A single mounting hole can measure temperatures at multiple depths, reducing installation costs.

    5. Barrier Structure: A dielectric barrier is installed between the armored core and the junction box, preventing medium ingress in case of sheath damage.

    Typical Application Scenarios

    • Fertilizer Industry: Temperature measurement at different depths inside synthesis towers and reaction vessels (this was the original design intent behind multi-point armored resistance thermometers)

    • Petrochemical industry: Temperature gradient monitoring inside distillation columns and reaction vessels

    • Tank temperature measurement: Multi-point temperature measurement inside storage tanks for edible oils and chemical raw materials

    • General industrial applications: Temperature measurement of liquid, steam, and gaseous media within the range of -200℃ to 500℃

    Key Selection Considerations

    When placing an order, you must clearly communicate the following key information to the manufacturer:

    1. Thermocouple Type and Temperature Range: Confirm whether the maximum temperature is within 500℃

    2. Number of Measurement Points and Depth at Each Point: Provides the exact depth of each temperature measurement point from the mounting flange surface (this is the core of customization)

    3. Explosion-proof Rating: Specify the requirements according to the explosion-proof zone classification, such as Ex d IICT6

    4. Process connection specification:Flange or thread? Please specify the standard, pressure rating, and size

    5. Protective tube material:select based on the corrosivity of the medium (standard: 1Cr18Ni9Ti/304)

    6. Output ConfigurationThree-wire configuration recommended (to eliminate lead resistance errors)

    Usage and Maintenance Recommendations

    • Installation: When bending the armored section, the bend radius should be no less than 5 times its diameter

    • WiringMust use a three-wire configuration to eliminate measurement errors caused by lead resistance

    • Measurement Current: The measurement current through the RTD should be ≤5 mA to avoid self-heating errors

    • Regular Calibration: It is recommended to perform periodic calibration according to standards to ensure accuracy

    If you can provide the specific number of measurement points, insertion depth at each point, maximum temperature, explosion-proof rating, and mounting interface, I can help you with precise model selection.
