    Threaded RTD Probes for Liquids and Gas

    With an NPT male probe connection, these RTDs are ready to install in thermowells and other fittings on pipe and tanks. They’re often used to measure temperature in water lines and low-pressure steam lines. Made of stainless steel, these probes resist corrosion and shield the RTD sensor inside from impact. They can also be installed in a bore to measure the temperature of molds and dies.

    Fixed Probe

    Spring-Loaded Probe

    Fixed Probe—Fixed probes can be used directly in liquid or steam because they’re welded to their fitting for a liquid-tight seal.
    Spring-Loaded Probe—Spring-loaded probes help ensure accurate readings in vibration-heavy environments. A spring inside the fitting pushes the probe forward, so the probe tip maintains contact with the end of a thermowell. However, these probes aren’t liquid-tight, so they must be installed inside a thermowell or protection sleeve.

    Threaded RTD Probe Transmitters for Liquids and Gas

    Send temperature readings directly to programmable logic controllers (PLCs)—with a built-in 4-20mA transmitter, these RTDs don’t require a separate signal converter. They have an NPT male probe connection, so they’re ready to screw into thermowells and other fittings on pipe and tanks. Made of 316 or 316L stainless steel, they resist corroding from harsh cleaning chemicals. This stainless steel also protects the RTD sensor inside from impact. They are also often installed in bores to measure the temperature of molds and dies. CE marked, they meet European safety standards.

    Dual-Output Threaded RTD Probes for Liquids and Gas

    Send temperature readings to two separate devices—these probes have two RTD sensors inside. For example, one RTD might connect to a data logger while the other connects to a PLC that automates processes based on temperature. These probes have an NPT male threaded fitting, so they’re ready to install in thermowells and other fittings on pipe and tanks. For direct immersion in liquid and gas processes, such as water lines and low-pressure steam lines, the fitting is welded to the sheath to fully enclose the RTDs. The sheath protects the sensors from impact. You can also install these probes in a bore to measure the temperature of molds and dies.

    Threaded RTD Probe Transmitters with Digital Display for Liquids and Gas

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. RTDs. Threaded RTD Probe Transmitters with Digital Display for Liquids and Gas.
    View temperature readings and adjust settings directly on these RTD probe transmitters. To communicate with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), they have a built-in transmitter with two outputs. One output can send a digital switching signal or use IO Link protocol with the addition of an IO Link controller (not included). The other can send a digital switching signal or a 4-20mA analog signal. The different output options make these RTDs good for a wide range of uses, including operating far away from a controller, taking automated measurements, and providing inputs to switching applications. All have an NPT threaded fitting welded onto the probe, so they’re ready to screw into containers, tanks, and pipes. Probe length is fixed. Made of 316L stainless steel, they are highly corrosion resistant.
    These RTDs meet EN 60751 Class A standards for temperature accuracy. UL Listed, C-UL Listed, and CE Marked, all meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.
