Flexibility in Temperature Measurement

Aarhus/Staffanstorp/Swindon, December 19, 2007. Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation offers flexible and individually configurable solutions for temperature measuring. As the measuring devices are often exposed to harsh and not material-friendly environments, Baumer also offers a wide range of thermowells (protective tubes) for the measuring instruments.

Baumer’s portfolio includes both mechanical and electronic temperature measuring systems. Of the range of mechanical devices, bimetal thermometers are suitable for HVAC (heating, ventilation, air condition) and many industrial applications, whereas gas expansion thermometers are mostly used in the heavy industry. Flexibility in stem diameter and length, temperature range or process connection allows to supply customized measuring instruments for specific applications.

For the field of electronic temperature measuring, head-mounted and DIN rail-mounted transmitters are available. They can be programmed easily and comfortably via the FlexProgrammer and offer a maximum of flexibility for most of the common thermocouples and RTDs (Resistance Temperature Devices) as well as for potentiometers and mVolts.

Measuring devices and sensors are often exposed to harsh environments or aggressive media. To protect them, Baumer offers a wide range of thermowells. They are available with a variety of process connections and in different materials like stainless steel, Hastelloy, Monel, Inconel or Titanium, and with several plastic coatings like FEP, PTFE or Polymers. Therefore, an adequate thermowell can be offered for every application.

Baumer provides the required certificates for materials or weldings as well as non-destructive material tests and thermal port-treatment for all temperature measuring devices.
