3.2
Application
The temperature sensors of the SITRANS TS product family are used for measuring temperatures in industrial plants.
Depending on the specifications, sensors can be combined with different connection heads, extension tubes, and process
connections. This makes the sensors suitable for a variety of process engineering applications, e.g. in the following sectors:
● Petrochemical industry
● Pharmaceuticals industry
● Biotechnology
● Foodstuffs
3.3
Functional principles
Two different measuring principles are used for measuring temperatures.
● With resistance thermometers, the temperature is measured as a change in resistance. Resistance thermometers, also
called Resistance Temperature Devices (RTD), contain sensor elements, for example Pt100 sensor elements in
accordance with IEC 60751.
● With thermocouples, the temperature is the change in voltage (Seebeck effect). The thermocouples are in accordance
with IEC 584/DIN EN 60584.
