Mounting Styles for Temperature Transmitters

Remote-mount looks like a good idea for 300degC process fluids.

But 1200degC? Phew! What on earth is that hot that needs contact temperature-monitoring? Would infra-red non-contact monitoring be a better bet?

Dear Gopi,

Not only Process Temp but ACCESSIBILITY also need to be considered while selecting the Temp. Transmitters. As you have mentioned, your transmitters are for Boilers & Pipe Lines with 1200 Deg C, it will be good idea to go for Remote Mounted Transmitters.

Regards,

i am considering accesibility but confused in deciding based on process temperatures.. vendors are assuring me not to consider process temperture in deciding mounting but i am not convinced.

for mounting you must consider ambient temperature not process.

for your application T type thermocouple is suitable or if temperature can go up to 1200/1300 degcent then go for infrared optical pyrometer.

You mount your transmitter remote if ambient is heigher than 68 deg cent . recomended

Agree with Mr Sudip.

The Ambient is considered and not the process.

if ambient exceeds 60 dc please use a remote mount, It will improve the reliability of your instruments.
