Pt100 Ex Resistance Thermometer

Ex Proof Heat Tracing Equipment - Pt100 Ex Resistance Thermometer

The device is perfectly suited for application areas that require a high degree of flexibility and interchangeability (e.g. chemical and power plants) and is specially designed for use in potentially explosive areas.

Pt100 Ex Resistance Thermometer

• Very fast response time
• Compact dimensions, compact design
• Wide temperature range

This Pt100 Ex sheathed resistance thermometer has been particularly designed for use in potentially explosive areas. As it meets the requirements of the Ex m type of protection, intrinsically safe circuits can be dispensed with. Thanks to the pliable part of the resistance thermometer, the device is excellently suitable for application areas requiring a high degree of flexibility and replaceability (e.g. chemical and power plants)

Structure The resistance thermometer is made of a 3 mm mineral insulated cable with different lengths. This light mineral insulated cable is filled with magnesium oxide. The pliable part of the resistance thermometer starts after 50 mm. Via a transition gland, the connection to a flexible supply cable is created.

Function Metals increase the electrical resistance with rising temperatures. The platinum element of the resistance thermometer has a resistance of 100 Ω at 0 °C. This characteristic is used for this type of resistance thermometers to get an image of the temperature. The resistance changes of the Pt100 Ex are converted into a temperature value and displayed by a control unit.
