Description
Flameproof RTD with Sanitary Fitting (Model APFS-Tri) is a specialized PT100 flameproof temperature sensor engineered for accurate temperature measurement in hazardous industrial areas that also require hygienic process connections. Featuring a Simplex 3-wire PT100 sensing element, mineral-insulated SS316 stainless steel sheath, rugged IP67 flameproof die-cast aluminium terminal head, and 2-inch Tri-Clover (Tri-Clamp) sanitary connection, this industrial RTD sensor combines hazardous-area protection with hygienic process integration. Designed for a temperature range of -50°C to +400°C, it is suitable for pharmaceutical, food and beverage, chemical, fermentation, and other process applications where both explosion protection and sanitary equipment design are important considerations.
The 2-inch Tri-Clamp sanitary process connection enables convenient installation and disconnection from compatible hygienic process equipment, supporting cleaning and maintenance procedures in suitable CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, while the flameproof terminal head provides protection for electrical terminations in appropriately classified hazardous locations. According to the specified configuration, the sensor is available for gas groups I, IIA, and IIB, with IIC-rated configurations available on request, subject to the applicable product certification and project requirements. Manufactured by Aavad Instrument, the APFS-Tri can also be configured with alternative terminal-head materials, including cast iron, SS304, and SS316, making it a versatile flameproof sanitary RTD sensor for demanding hygienic and hazardous-area temperature measurement applications.
