Function and system design
Measuring principleThese resistance thermometers use a Pt100 temperature sensor according to IEC 60751. This
temperature sensor is a temperature-sensitive platinum resistor with a resistance of 100 at 0 °C (32
°F) and a temperature coefficient = 0.003851 °C
There are generally two different kinds of platinum resistance thermometers:
• Wire wound (WW): Here, a double coil of fine, high-purity platinum wire is located in a ceramic
support. This is then sealed top and bottom with a ceramic protective layer. Such resistance
thermometers not only facilitate very reproducible measurements but also offer good long-term
stability of the resistance/temperature characteristic within temperature ranges up to 600 °C (1112
°F). This type of sensor is relatively large in size and it is comparatively sensitive to vibrations.
• Thin film platinum resistance thermometers (TF): A very thin, ultrapure platinum layer, approx.
1 μm thick, is vaporized in a vacuum on a ceramic substrate and then structured
photolithographically. The platinum conductor paths formed in this way create the measuring
resistance. Additional covering and passivation layers are applied and reliably protect the thin
platinum layer from contamination and oxidation even at high temperatures.
The primary advantages of thin-film temperature sensors over wire wound versions are their smaller
sizes and better vibration resistance. A relatively low principle-based deviation of the resistance/
temperature characteristic from the standard characteristic of IEC 60751 can frequently be observed
among TF sensors at high temperatures. As a result, the tight limit values of tolerance category A as
per IEC 60751 can only be observed with TF sensors at temperatures up to approx. 300 °C (572 °F). For
this reason, thin-film sensors are generally only used for temperature measurements in ranges below
400 °C (932 °F).

Example of an application
A Thermometer with fitted head transmitter
B RIA16 field display unit
– The display unit records the analog measuring signal from the head transmitter and shows this on the
display. The LC display shows the current measured value in digital form and as a bar graph indicating a limit
value violation. The display unit is looped into the 4 to 20 mA circuit and gets the required energy from there.
More information on this can be found in the Technical Information (see "Documentation").
C Active barrier RN221N
– The RN221N active barrier (24 V DC, 30 mA) has an galvanically isolated output for supplying voltage to
loop powered transmitters. The universal power supply works with an input supply voltage of 20 to
250 V DC/AC, 50/60 Hz, which means that it can be used in all international power grids. More information
on this can be found in the Technical Information (see "Documentation").

The Omnigrad M TR10 RTD assemblies are modular. The terminal head serves as a connection module
for the protection armature in the process as well as for the mechanical and electrical connection of the
measuring insert. The actual RTD sensor element is fitted in and mechanically protected within the
insert. The insert can be exchanged and calibrated even during the process. Either ceramic terminal
blocks or transmitters can be fitted to the internal base washer. Where required, threads or
compression fittings can be fixed onto the protection armature.

Process pressure
The pressure values to which the actual thermowell can be subjected at the various temperatures and
maximum permitted flow velocity are illustrated by the figure below. Occasionally, the pressure
loading capacity of the process connection can be considerably lower. The maximum allowable process
pressure for a specific thermometer is derived from the lower pressure value of the thermowell and
process connection.

Permitted flow velocity depending on the immersion length
The highest flow velocity tolerated by the thermometer diminishes with increasing immersion length
exposed to the stream of the fluid. In addition it is dependent on the diameter of the thermometer tip,
on the kind of measuring medium, on the process temperature and on the process pressure. The
following figures exemplify the maximum permitted flow velocities in water and superheated steam at
a process pressure of 5 MPa (50 bar).

Response time for the sensor assembly without transmitter.
Insulation resistanceInsulation resistance 100 at ambient temperature.
Insulation resistance between each terminal and the sheath is measured with a voltage of 100 V DC.
Self heatingRTD elements are passive resistances that are measured using an external current. This measurement
current causes a self heating in the RTD element itself which in turn creates an additional
measurement error. In addition to the measurement current the size of the measurement error is also
affected by the temperature conductivity and flow velocity of the process. This self heating error is
negligible when an Endress+Hauser iTEMP
®
temperature transmitter (very small measurement
current) is connected.
Calibration specificationsEndress+Hauser provides comparison temperature calibration from -80 to +600 °C (-110 °F to 1112
°F) based on the International Temperature Scale (ITS90). Calibrations are traceable to national and
international standards. The calibration report is referenced to the serial number of the thermometer.
Only the measurement insert is calibrated.
