A non-invasive temperature measurement device
The iTHERM SurfaceLine TM611 (photo) is a non-invasive thermometer engineered for environments where traditional invasive sensors pose safety, engineering or cost challenges. Conventional invasive sensors require thermowells, flanges or pipe modifications, but the iTHERM SurfaceLine TM611 mounts externally on the pipe surface. It is suitable for use in chemical processing, liquefied-natural-gas regasification, hydrogen production, food-and-beverage manufacturing and data-center cooling. Its advanced thermal-coupling element ensures optimal heat transfer to the sensor while minimizing ambient interference. This design enables measurement accuracy and response time comparable to invasive RTDs and thermocouple sensors. The device is built for demanding process conditions, such as high flow velocities, elevated pressures, corrosive or abrasive media and small-pipe-diameters sensors. — Endress+Hauser, Greenwood, Ind.
