Industrial Thermometers

Industrial Thermometers

Industrial thermometers cover modular and configurable temperature assemblies intended for broad use across heavy-duty and general process environments. The core concept is flexible configuration - combining sensor design choices, thermowell options, connection housings, and transmitter integration to match the mechanical, thermal, and documentation requirements of the measurement point. This approach enables a tailored fit across a wide variety of industrial process services.

Benefits center on adaptability and lifecycle performance. A modular architecture supports standardization where feasible while still addressing unique constraints such as vibration, high pressure, corrosion, or extreme ambient exposure. Matching the appropriate sensor design and mechanical protection to the service improves measurement reliability, reduces unplanned maintenance, and supports consistent thermal performance over long operating periods.

In the iTHERM ModuLine concept, modularity is paired with value-add features designed to support process efficiency and safety. Examples referenced in the portfolio include the Dual Seal function and iTHERM QuickNeck. Configuration breadth includes thermometers with thermowells for easier, safer insert replacement/recalibration, and direct-contact thermometers without thermowells where fastest response and highest accuracy are desired and the service conditions allow it.

Connectivity and mounting are addressed through selectable process connections such as threaded, compression-fitted, and flanged interfaces, as well as thermowell construction choices including welded or barstock designs. Instruments may be equipped with transmitters and displays where local indication or standardized signaling is required, or supplied as sensor-only assemblies for integration into existing signal conditioning architectures.

Industrial thermometers are typically applied across reactors, columns, heat exchangers, pipelines, rotating equipment auxiliaries, and utility systems where ruggedness and maintainability are primary drivers. Selection generally balances the process load case (pressure/velocity/chemistry), required response and accuracy, maintenance philosophy (insert exchange vs. direct immersion), and standardization targets across similar assets.
