Description
PT100 Temperature Sensor (Model APFS-S) is a flameproof industrial RTD designed for accurate and reliable temperature measurement in hazardous process environments. Equipped with a Simplex Class A PT100 sensing element, a 350 mm SS316 stainless steel probe, and a rugged IP67 flameproof die-cast aluminium terminal head, this sensor provides dependable temperature monitoring across an operating range of -50°C to +400°C. The 350 mm probe length offers a practical solution for installations where standard short or long RTDs are unsuitable, making it ideal for pipelines, process vessels, reactors, and industrial equipment requiring a mid-length insertion depth.
Designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial conditions, the APFS-S provides stable performance in applications exposed to mechanical vibration, thermal cycling, and harsh process environments. Available with 2-wire, 3-wire, or 4-wire configurations, the sensor integrates with compatible temperature transmitters, PLCs, DCS, SCADA systems, controllers, and industrial automation platforms. Manufactured by Aavad Instrument, this PT100 temperature sensor is widely used in oil and gas facilities, petrochemical plants, refineries, power generation, chemical processing, and other hazardous-area industries requiring dependable flameproof temperature instrumentation.
How to Select the Correct PT100 Probe Length
| Probe Length | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| 200 mm | Compact process piping, smaller vessels, OEM equipment |
| 350 mm (This Model) | Medium-depth tanks, pipelines, reactors, and general process installations |
| 500 mm | Large vessels, deep process tanks, and long insertion applications |
