Plant engineers wanting to add online temperature measurements in areas where intrusive sensors are not possible – due to stress on sensors with thermowells – can now use Emerson's Rosemount 0085 non-intrusive pipe clamp sensor.
Emerson describes the new sensor as "a simple, fast solution for adding reliable temperature measurements ... optimised for sensor-pipe contact and heat transfer, with a spring-loaded sensor and a highly conductive flat nickel or silver sensor tip".
The unit is designed to hold a transmitter in its assembly, and, when paired with the Rosemount 648 wireless transmitter, gives immediate access to temperature, and hence also to increased process visibility.
