Omnigrad S -TR61
Function and system design
Measuring principleThe RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector), is a sensor where the electrical resistance varies with the tem-
perature. The material of the RTD is Platinum (Pt) with a value of the resistance (R), referred to a nominal value
at the temperature of 0°C = 100,00 Ω (in compliance to rule EN 60751; it is called Pt100). The very important
is to define the RTD; it is defined with a standard "α" value measured between 0°C and 100°C.
This value is: α = 3.85 x 10
The temperature is measured indirectly by reading the voltage drop across the sensing resistor in the presence
of a constant current flowing through it using Ohm’s. The measuring current should be as small as possible to
minimise possible sensor selfheating; normally this current is around 1mA, no higher.
The resistance value measured for each degree is about = 0,391 Ohm/K; over 0°C it is opposite proportional
at the temperature. The standard RTD connection at the plant instrument can be to 2,3 or 4 wires for simple
or double RTD element.
Equipment architecture The construction of the Omnigrad S TR61 temperature sensor is based on the following standards:
• EN 50014/18 (housing)
• DIN 43772 (thermowell)
• EN 600751 (inset).
-3
°C-1.
The housing is in painted aluminium alloy; it is suitable to contain a transmitter and/or the ceramic
block of the inset; the “Ingress Protection” is from
IP66 to IP68.
The thermowell can be made from tube with diameter 9, 11 or 12 mm.
The final part of the thermowell can be straight,
tapered or reduced.
The process connection of the thermowell can be
threaded (GAS or NPT), flanged (DIN or ANSI) or
with a compression fitting (see the section "System
components").
The replaceable inset is a probe’s tip with a Pt100
positioned into; it is placed inside the thermowell.

Installation
The Omnigrad S TR61 thermometers can be installed on pipes or tanks by means of threaded or flanged connections. The immersion length must take into account all the parameters of the thermometer and the process
to measure. If the immersion is too low, an error may be generated in the temperature recorded due to the
lower temperature of the process fluid near to the walls and heat transfer, which takes place through the sensor
stem. The incidence of such an error can be not negligible if there is a big difference between the process temperature and the ambient temperature. To prevent measuring errors of this kind, it is advisable to use thermometer with a small diameter on well and an immersion length (L) of at least 80÷100 mm.
In small section ducts the tubing’s axis must be reached and preferibly slightly exceeded by the tip of the probe
(see fig. 3A-3C).
Insulation of the outer part of the sensor reduces the effect produced by a low immersion. Alternatively, it is
also possible to adopt a tilted installation (see fig. 3B-3D).
With regard to corrosion, the base material of the wetted parts (SS 316L, SS 316Ti, Hastelloy C) can tolerate
the common corrosive media right up to even the highest temperatures.

In the case that the sensor components are disassembled, in the following reassembly procedure the definite
torques must be employed. This will assure the housings with the IP grade defined.
In the case of vibrations the thin film sensing element Pt100 (TF) may offer advantages; the wire wound Pt100
(WW), besides having a larger measurement and accuracy range, guarantees greater long term stability.

50281-1-2 standards (EEx-d certification for
explosion proof type of protection).
The matching of the head with the extension
below the head and the cover (threaded)
ensures a degree of protection from IP66 to
115
~
IP68. The head also has a chain to connect
the body to the cover, which facilitates the
use of the instrument during the maintenance
on systems.
The single or double threaded electrical cable
entry can be: M20x1.5, 1/2” NPT or 3/4”
NPT, G1/2".
The standard lengths of the neck are 80 or
145 mm, according to the selected option. In
accordance with the norm DIN 43772, in the
case of a thermowell with a diameter of 12
mm and a tapered tip (form 3G), the extension neck will be respectively 82 or 147 mm.
The connection situated in the upper part of
the neck allows for orientation of the sensor
head. As illustrated by the drawing in figure 5,
the length of the extension neck may influence the temperature in the head. It is necessary that this temperature is kept within the
limit values defined in the paragraph “Operating Conditions”.

Process connection Standard connections are available in the following types: Threaded or Flanged
Other versions may be supplied upon request, while other characteristic are available in the structure at the
and of this document. The table below illustrate the engaging lengths and typies of process connections.
ProbeIn the TR61 the measuring probe is made up of a mineral insulated insert (MgO) positioned inside the ther-
mowell. The insert length is available in the standard dimensions DIN 43772 and in the most commonly used
ones, or it can be personalized by the client within a range of values (refer to “Sales Structure” at the end of
the document).
For replacement, the length of the insert (IL) must be chosen in compliance with the immersion length (L) of
the thermowell (see fig. 6). If spare parts are required, refer to the following table.
Although the wiring diagram of single Pt 100s is always supplied with 4 wires configuration, the connection of
a transmitter can be executed with 3 wires as well, by avoiding to connect whichever of the terminals (see fig.
6). The configuration Pt100 double with 2 wires and Pt100 single with 2, 3 and 4 wires are available for the
ATEX certified inserts.
