Description
Push-In RTD Temperature Sensor (Model APMS-6×150) is a compact PT100 RTD temperature probe designed for fast, thread-free installation into compatible compression fittings, glands, and pre-designed sensor ports. Featuring a Simplex PT100 Class B sensing element, 6 mm OD × 150 mm SS316 stainless steel sheath, and a compact miniature protection head, this push-in temperature sensor provides reliable and repeatable temperature measurement across a wide operating range of -50°C to +400°C. Its non-threaded probe design eliminates direct thread engagement on the sensor, making it a practical solution for HVAC systems, refrigeration equipment, industrial furnaces, laboratory apparatus, ducts, small vessels, and equipment requiring convenient sensor installation or removal.
Designed for flexible industrial temperature measurement, the Model APMS-6×150 can be mounted using a suitably selected compression fitting or gland, allowing the probe position and insertion depth to be configured according to the installation. The corrosion-resistant SS316 sheath provides durability in compatible liquid and gas applications, while the miniature terminal head minimizes the overall installation footprint in space-constrained equipment. Manufactured by Aavad Instrument, this push-in PT100 RTD sensor is available with different probe lengths and sheath diameters to suit OEM machinery, HVAC and refrigeration systems, laboratory equipment, industrial process monitoring, and applications requiring a compact and easily serviceable temperature probe.

FAQs
1. What is a Push-In RTD Temperature Probe and how is it different from a Screw-In RTD?
A Push-In RTD Temperature Probe is a PT100 Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that is inserted directly into the process without a threaded process connection. This design allows faster installation and a quicker thermal response than screw-in or thermowell-mounted RTDs. Aavad’s Model APMS-6×150 is a Class B simplex PT100 RTD with a miniature protection head, operating over a temperature range of -50°C to +400°C.
2. What is the response time advantage of a Push-In RTD Probe?
Because the sensing element is placed in direct contact with the process medium, without a thermowell or threaded barrier, a Push-In RTD Temperature Probe typically provides a faster response to temperature changes than screw-in or thermowell-mounted RTDs. This makes it ideal for applications requiring rapid temperature monitoring.
3. What construction does Aavad’s Push-In RTD Temperature Probe use?
Aavad’s Push-In RTD Temperature Probe features an SS316 stainless steel sheath, a miniature protection head with a single cable entry, a nickel-plated ceramic terminal block, and a standard 6 mm outer diameter (OD) × 150 mm probe length (Model APMS-6X150) for reliable industrial temperature measurement.
4. Is the Push-In RTD suitable for HVAC and Refrigeration Systems?
Yes. The Push-In RTD Temperature Probe is widely used in HVAC systems, air-conditioning equipment, refrigeration and cooling systems, boilers, heating systems, furnaces, kilns, and industrial process monitoring, where its fast response time and compact design offer significant advantages.
5. Can the Push-In RTD Temperature Probe be supplied in different lengths and diameters?
Yes. Aavad Instrument manufactures Push-In RTD Temperature Probes in a variety of probe lengths, sheath diameters, sensing element configurations, and customized designs beyond the standard 150 mm length and 6 mm OD to suit different equipment, installation depths, and OEM requirements.
