Typical Applications

Petrochemical - condition monitoring:
Bearing, gearbox and motor housing surface temperatures in refineries and chemical plants can be monitored without contact, eliminating the need to replace contact probes that are easily damaged by vibration.

Petrochemical - liquid storage and processing:
The sensing head can be positioned in a Zone 0 environment such as the top of a tank of hazardous liquid or chemical reactor, to measure the surface temperature of the liquid, in conjunction with suitable air purging or protective viewport.

Gas cylinder filling:
The surface temperature of cylinders of flammable gases is monitored with the ExTempMini as they are filled. The Group IIC, T4 (or T3 depending on ambient temperature) classification of the sensing head makes it suitable for almost all gases including propane, butane, hydrogen and acetylene. The temperature of each cylinder is measured on the filling rig to help detect fault conditions in filling, to calculate the final filled volume (in conjunction with the pressure), to ensure the volume is repeatable, and to improve the filling rate.

Automotive painting:
Solvents in automotive painting can lead to the presence of a hazardous gas Zone. The intrinsically safe ExTempMini may be used to measure the temperature of containers and vessels, the surface temperature of liquids, and the temperature of painted surfaces.

Offshore:
The stainless steel 316 housing of the ExTempMini's sensing head, and its intrinsically safe certification, make it well-suited for use on offshore platforms.

Notes:
ExTempMini is certified for gas hazardous areas only, and not dust. The above information about Applications may include some Dust applications, but the sensor is not suitable for those.
