FAQs
1. What is an Industrial Temperature Sensor and how does it work?
An Industrial Temperature Sensor is a PT100 Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that converts temperature into a measurable electrical resistance signal for connection to temperature indicators, controllers, PLCs, DCS systems, and other process control equipment. Aavad’s Industrial Temperature Sensor (Model APPS) features SS316 stainless steel construction, compacted Magnesium Oxide (MgO) insulation, and a durable plastic protection head, with an operating temperature range of -50°C to +250°C.
2. What makes Aavad’s Industrial Temperature Sensor suitable for harsh plant environments?
The sensor’s SS316 stainless steel sheath and compacted Magnesium Oxide (MgO) insulation provide excellent resistance to moisture, mechanical stress, vibration, and thermal cycling, while the nickel-plated ceramic terminal block ensures stable and reliable electrical connections even under demanding industrial operating conditions.
3. What are the standard dimensions of Aavad’s Industrial Temperature Sensor?
The standard configuration of Aavad’s Industrial Temperature Sensor (Model APPS_4X150) features a 4 mm outer diameter (OD) probe, 150 mm insertion length, and a single cable entry. Custom probe lengths, diameters, and process connections are also available to suit specific industrial applications.
4. Can this Industrial Temperature Sensor be used for HVAC and Process Control Systems?
Yes. This Industrial PT100 RTD Sensor is widely used for process temperature monitoring, industrial automation, HVAC systems, manufacturing equipment, OEM machinery, and general process control applications, where accurate and reliable temperature measurement is required.
5. What is the difference between a Simplex Industrial Temperature Sensor and a Duplex Sensor?
A Simplex PT100 RTD Sensor, such as Aavad’s APPS model, contains a single PT100 sensing element for one temperature measurement point. In contrast, a Duplex RTD Sensor contains two independent PT100 sensing elements within the same probe, allowing redundant temperature monitoring, backup measurement, or dual-loop process control. Aavad Instrument manufactures both simplex and duplex RTD sensor configurations.
