Temperature

Temperature measurement is one of the most frequently measured parameters in process industries and directly affects safety, efficiency, and final product quality. Endress+Hauser positions temperature instrumentation as a complete assortment of sensors, thermometers, transmitters, thermowells, inserts, connection options, and accessories suited to broad process-industry requirements and integration needs.

The category spans industrial and hygienic thermometers, temperature transmitters, thermowells, high-temperature and compact designs, surface and cable probes, multipoint assemblies, and temperature switches. This breadth supports applications from general utilities and storage to demanding high-pressure/high-temperature duties, and it enables standardization across facilities while still accommodating specialized mechanical designs.

Benefits focus on reliable measurement performance, lifecycle cost control, and certification readiness. Endress+Hauser highlights international approvals (metrology, hazardous areas, safety), support for common protocols from analog to digital outputs, easy handling from installation to maintenance, and high productivity through accurate sensor technology and traceable, accredited calibrations. These attributes reduce commissioning friction and support long-term stability in critical loops.

Typical applications include reactor temperature control, heat exchanger approach monitoring, steam and condensate networks, tank temperature profiling, hygienic processing with stringent cleanability requirements, and high-temperature furnaces or thermal oxidizers. Multipoint solutions are often used where temperature gradients matter for yield or safety, while surface and non-invasive approaches can be used where penetration is undesirable or restricted by mechanical constraints.

Key engineering considerations include thermowell wake-frequency and mechanical strength, response time versus robustness, sensor drift and calibration intervals, and the influence of installation geometry on stem conduction and immersion. Output and diagnostic strategy should match the control and safety architecture, with appropriate redundancy in high-consequence duties. Material selection, connection standards, and approval requirements should be aligned early to avoid late mechanical changes and qualification delays.
