Function and system design

Measuring principle

Resistance thermometer (RTD)

These resistance thermometers use a Pt100 temperature sensor according to IEC 60751. The
temperature sensor is a temperature-sensitive platinum resistor with a resistance of 100 at
0 C (32 F) and a temperature coefficient = 0.003851 C-1.
There are generally two different kinds of platinum resistance thermometers:
Wire wound (WW): Here, a double coil of fine, high-purity platinum wire is located in a ceramic
support. This is then sealed top and bottom with a ceramic protective layer. Such resistance
thermometers not only facilitate very reproducible measurements but also offer good long-term
stability of the resistance/temperature characteristic within temperature ranges up to
600 C (1 112 F). This type of sensor is relatively large in size and it is comparatively sensitive to
vibrations.
Thin film platinum resistance thermometers (TF): A very thin, ultrapure platinum layer,
approx. 1 m thick, is vaporized in a vacuum on a ceramic substrate and then structured
photolithographically. The platinum conductor paths formed in this way create the measuring
resistance. Additional covering and passivation layers are applied and reliably protect the thin
platinum layer from contamination and oxidation, even at high temperatures.
The primary advantages of thin film temperature sensors over wire wound versions are their smaller
sizes and better vibration resistance. A relatively low principle-based deviation of the resistance/
temperature characteristic from the standard characteristic of IEC 60751 can frequently be observed
among TF sensors at high temperatures. As a result, the tight limit values of tolerance category A as
per IEC 60751 can only be observed with TF sensors at temperatures up to approx. 300 C (572 F).
For this reason, thin-film sensors are generally only used for temperature measurements in ranges
below 400 C (752 F).
Thermocouples (TC)
Thermocouples are comparatively simple, robust temperature sensors which use the Seebeck effect
for temperature measurement: if two electrical conductors made of different materials are connected
at a point, a weak electrical voltage can be measured between the two open conductor ends if the
conductors are subjected to a thermal gradient. This voltage is called thermoelectric voltage or
electromotive force (emf.). Its magnitude depends on the type of conducting materials and the
temperature difference between the "measuring point" (the junction of the two conductors) and the
"cold junction" (the open conductor ends). Accordingly, thermocouples primarily only measure
differences in temperature. The absolute temperature at the measuring point can be determined
from these if the associated temperature at the cold junction is known or is measured separately and
compensated for. The material combinations and associated thermoelectric voltage/temperature
characteristics of the most common types of thermocouple are standardized in the IEC 60584 and
ASTM E230/ANSI MC96.1 standards.

Application example
Thermometer with fitted head transmitter mounted in an existing onsite thermowell
RIA16 field display unit - The display unit records the analog measuring signal from the head transmitter and
shows this on the display. The LC display shows the current measured value in digital form and as a bar graph
indicating a limit value violation. The display unit is looped into the 4 to 20 mA circuit and gets the required
energy from there. More information on this can be found in the Technical Information (see "Documentation").
Active barrier RN221N - The RN221N (24 V DC, 30 mA) active barrier has a galvanically isolated output for
supplying voltage to loop-powered transmitters. The universal power supply works with an input supply
voltage of 20 to 250 V DC/AC, 50/60 Hz, which means that it can be used in all international power grids.

Omnigrad S TR88, TC88

Thermometers from the Omnigrad S TR88 and TC88 series have a modular design. The terminal
head is used as a connection module for the mechanical and electrical connection of the insert. The
position of the actual thermometer sensor in the insert ensures that it is mechanically protected. If
installed in a thermowell the insert can be exchanged and calibrated without interrupting the
process. The insert has flying leads, a ceramic connection socket or mounted temperature
transmitter. The thermometers are designed for installation in an existing onsite thermowell.
Different threaded connections are available on the bottom of the extension neck for installation in
the thermowell. Insofar as the thermowell is suited to this purpose, the thermometer may also be
mounted using a suitable compression fitting on the extension neck. This means that thermometers
with a fixed insertion length (ML) can be used variably, even in thermowells of varying length, and
can be installed in such a way that an optimum thermal contact is guaranteed between the tip of the
insert and the bottom of the thermowell.

Process pressure
The maximum process pressure depends on the thermowell into which the thermometer is screwed.
For an overview of the Endress+Hauser thermowells which may be used, see 22.
Permitted flow rate as a function of immersion length
The maximum permitted flow rate to which the thermometer can be subjected, reduces the greater
the immersion depth of the thermowell in the flowing medium. In addition, it is dependent on the
diameter of the tip of the thermowell, the medium type, process temperature and process pressure.
For an overview of the Endress+Hauser thermowells which may be used, see 22 .
Shock and vibration resistance
The Endress+Hauser inserts meet the requirements of IEC 60751 which specify shock and vibration
resistance of 3g in the range from 10 to 500 Hz. The vibration resistance at the measuring point
depends on the sensor type and design, see the following table:

Self heating

RTD elements are passive resistances that are measured using an external current. This
measurement current causes a self-heating effect in the RTD element itself which in turn creates an
additional measurement error. In addition to the measurement current, the size of the measurement
error is also affected by the temperature conductivity and flow velocity of the process. This selfheating error is negligible when an Endress+Hauser iTEMP temperature transmitter (very small
measurement current) is connected.

Calibration

Endress+Hauser provides comparison temperature calibration from

Thermometer installation

The thermometer is designed for installation in an existing thermowell or in a thermowell which can
be ordered separately. Different threaded connections to suit the thermowell are available on the
thermometer's extension neck 14. The necessary insertion length (ML) of the insert depends
on the total length of the thermowell (A) and the type of thermowell used. It can be freely selected
within the range of 100 to 5 000 mm (3.94 to 197 in). Longer insertion lengths are available on
request. This also applies when ordering the insert as a spare part. More detailed information on
determining the insertion length (ML) required in each case can be found in the following table
(applies to Endress+Hauser thermowells with standard base thicknesses (D)).

In the case of thermowells with a noncompliant standard base thickness (D), the following formula
must be used: ML = A - D + 3 (0.12) in mm (in).

Extension neck length

The extension neck is the part between the process connection and the terminal head. As illustrated
in the following diagram, the extension neck length influences the temperature in the terminal

Certificates and approvals

CE Mark

The device meets the legal requirements of the EC directives if applicable. Endress+Hauser confirms
that the device has been successfully tested by applying the CE mark.

Hazardous area approvals

For further details on the available Ex versions (ATEX, CSA, FM etc.), please contact your nearest
Endress +Hauser sales organization. All relevant data for hazardous areas can be found in separate
Ex documentation.

PED approval

The thermometer complies with paragraph 3.3 of the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC and is
not marked separately.

Test report and calibration

The "Factory calibration" is carried out according to an internal procedure in a laboratory of Endress
+Hauser accredited by the European Accreditation Organization (EA) according to ISO/IEC 17025. A
calibration which is performed according to EA guidelines (SIT/Accredia or DKD/DAkks calibration)
may be requested separately. The calibration is performed on the replaceable insert of the
thermometer. In the case of thermometers without a replaceable insert, the entire thermometer from the process connection to the tip of the thermometer - is calibrated.
