Insulated Bimetal Thermometer TB for Cold Water Systems

For measuring the temperature in cold water systems, Baumer’s product segment Process Instrumentation offers the bimetal thermometer TB in a version with thermowell and PVC insulation protecting it against condensation and hence corrosion. The thermometer is suitable especially for HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), but also for other sectors like the food and beverage industry. It can measure temperature ranges from -30°C up to 500°C.

The temperature measuring in cold water systems, like air conditioning, heat exchangers or cooling water circuits in nuclear power plants, often implicates corrosion on pipelines and thermometers due to condensation. For those applications, Baumer offers the bimetal thermometer series TB in a specially protected execution with thermowell and a PVC insulation sleeve directly on the immersion tube. The combination is easy to mount: First, the insulation sleeve is screwed on the screw-on protection pipe and mounted in the piping system. After finishing all further installation and construction works, the thermometer itself is inserted.

The TB can measure temperature ranges from -30°C up to 500°C and conforms to the accuracy classes 1 (up to 250°C) and 2 (above 250°C) according to the EN 13190 standard. The immersion tube has a diameter of 8 mm and an installed length from 100 up to 1000 mm. The case and the immersion tube are made of stainless steel. However, for temperatures up to 250°C, the immersion tube is also offered in a copper alloy. The thermowells are available in brass, steel and stainless steel.
