    Choose between RTDs and thermocouples based on your application's maximum temperature, duration, and environment.

    Noncontact Temperature Sensors for Tanks

    Image of Product. Back orientation. Noncontact Temperature Sensors. Noncontact Temperature Sensors for Tanks.
    Take your tank’s internal temperature with these sensors that sit on the outside walls. Since they don’t touch your tank’s contents, they won’t cause contamination or corrode. To attach the sensor to your tank, weld the included studs to your tank's walls, or stick them on your tank using adhesive. Either way you mount them, you don’t need to drill or drain your tank, saving you from scheduled downtime.
    They have internal sensors to record the tank’s thermal conductivity, which is used to calculate your tank's internal temperature.
    4 mA to 20 mA Output Signal—The information is sent through a 4-20 mA signal, so you can read the temperature on controllers and data loggers.
    For 1/8" Tank Wall Thickness—These sensors are preconfigured for stainless steel tanks with ⅛"-thick walls.

    Use adapters to calibrate these sensors on your computer when your tank isn’t the default thickness or material. Download free software and material presets to help you calibrate the sensor. If you know your tank’s thermal conductivity, you can add another material. The software also lets you monitor and log temperature.

    Pocket Infrared Thermometers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Thermometers. Pocket Infrared Thermometers, Style E.

    Style E

    Keep these small thermometers in your pocket or toolkit to spot check the temperature of dangerous, hard-to-reach, and moving surfaces without touching them.
    Warning: These infrared thermometers are not intended for medical use.
    Adjustable Emissivity—Thermometers with adjustable emissivity can be calibrated for more accurate readings of shiny surfaces than thermometers with fixed emissivity.
    Laser Sight—Thermometers with laser sight have a red beam of light to indicate the precise area being measured.
    Maximum Distance—Maximum working distance is the distance a one inch target can be reliably measured.

    Clamp-On Noncontact Temperature Sensors for Pipe

    Sensor Shown Installed

    (Adapter Sold Separately)

    Check the inside temperature of your pipe from the outside. A good choice for when contamination is a concern, these sensors don’t touch what’s inside your line. They sit on the outside, so they won’t corrode, gunk up, or break from your line's flow. A clamp makes them quick to attach and easy to reposition—there’s no need to drill into your pipe or drain your line. They have internal sensors to record the pipe’s thermal conductivity, which is used to calculate your line’s temperature.
    4 mA to 20 mA Output Signal—The information is sent through a 4-20 mA signal, so you can read the temperature on controllers and data loggers.
    For Metal Pipes—Sensors for metal pipe are preconfigured for Schedule 40 stainless steel pipe. They won’t work with plastic pipe.
    For Plastic Pipes—Sensors for plastic pipe are preconfigured for Schedule 40 PVC pipe. They won’t work with metal pipe.
