TMT162C
Function and system design
Measuring principle In the thermocouple, two electrically conductive conductors made of different metals are connected at the ends
(thermocouple), thereby producing a thermoelectric circuit. The weld point forms the "measuring point" and
the other end with the free wires forms the "cold junction". When the "measuring point" of this thermoelectric
circuit is heated, a current flows through the circuit and a weak electrical voltage (known as the thermoelectric
voltage) is generated.
If the measuring point and the reference junction have the same temperature, a thermoelectric voltage is not
generated. The strength of the thermoelectric voltage (also know as the electromagnetic force), primarily
depends on the materials of the thermocouple and the size of the temperature differential. The sensors (thermocouple) meet the requirements of IEC 60584 and ANSI MC96.1.
Measuring system
TMT162C
TMT162R_G_dd_07_xx_04
The TMT162C thermocouple thermometer comprises a measuring insert with a thermocouple (TC) and the
iTEMP® TMT162 field transmitter which can be configured using the HART®, FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ or
PROFIBUS® PA protocol. A thermowell can be ordered separately.
The sensor element is integrated in the tip of the measuring insert and complies with IEC 60584 and ANSI
MC96.1. It withstands loads that typically occur in the most common industrial processes. The sensor element
consists of 2 metal alloy wires, type J (iron/copper nickel) or type K (nickel chromium/nickel). The measuring
range and tolerance errors differ depending on the thermocouple. The measuring insert is a replaceable unit
and is installed in a thermowell. A spring system presses it against the base of the thermowell to improve the
transmission of heat.
The transmitter housing is made of die-cast aluminum or stainless steel. It can be purchased with or without
an LC display. The minimum degree of protection, IP65, is achieved by sealing glands at the cable entry and
the thermometer connection. Depending on the customer's requirements, customers can choose from thermowells constructed from welded tubes and thermowells made of drilled barstock material. The thermowells
are available in various shapes and sizes and with a wide range of process connections (thread, flange or weldon connections, see page 12).

At temperatures < -20 °C (-4 °F), the display may react slowly. Readability of the display cannot be guaranteed
at temperatures < -30 °C (-22 °F).

Process pressure/flow velocity
The load limits of the thermometer depend on the thermowell used and are listed in the technical information
specific to the individual thermowells (see page 12). Factors that affect the load limits include the process pressure, flow velocity, density of the medium, temperature, immersion depth, length of the thermowell in the
flowing medium etc. In critical situations, a load capacity calculation for the thermowell can be ordered from
Endress+Hauser.
