Range of uses
The Omnigrad S TR63 is an RTD industrial thermometer with
a inset (Pt100) and threaded or flanged thermowell from pipe.
It is developed for the use in the chemical, petrochemical and
energy industries, but suitable also for other generic applications.
In compliance to EN 50014/18/20 (ATEX certification) it is
therefore particularly suitable also for hazardous areas.
When required, it’s also available with a transmitter (PCP,
HART® or PROFIBUS-PA®) into the housing.
The process connection of the thermowell is threaded or
flanged in compliance to the standard of process requirements.

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 IEC 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 to simple
or double RTD element.
Equipment architecture The construction of the TR63 temperature sensor is based on the following standards:
• EN 50014/18 (housing)
• Neck (1 or 2 nipple and 1 "3 union", standard or EEx- execution)
• IEC 60751 (insert and sensing element).
• Pipe thermowells standard like: ENI, MONTEDISON, ENEL, ecc.
-3
°C-1.
The housing is in painted aluminium alloy; it is suitable
to contain a transmitter and/or the ceramic block of the
insert; the “Ingress Protection” is from IP66 to IP68.
The neck composed by one or two nipple and one "3
union", standard or EEx- execution, it is the extension
between the head and the thermowell.
The insert diameter is 3 - 6 mm, is composed by MgO
cable (SS 316L sheath) with a sensing element (Pt100
ohm/0°C) positioned at the MgO cable tip. The standard electrical connection is to 2, 3 or 4 wires for sensing element (Pt100).
The thermowell is from bar stock, with execution, on
wetted part, conical, straight or tapered.
The process connection on the thermowell is: threaded
or flanged, in some case it can be to weld also.

Installation
The TR63 can be installed on pipes or tanks by means of threaded or flanged connections. The counterparts for
process connections and gaskets, when required, are not supplied with the sensor and must be purchased separately by the user. 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 thermowells with a small diameter and an immersion length (L) of at least 100÷150 mm. In small section
ducts the tubing’s axis must be reached and preferibly slightly exceeded by the tip of the probe (see fig. 3A3C). 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).

For a best installation, in the industries, it's better to follow the rule: h ( d, L > D/2 + h. As far as corrosion is
concerned, the base material for parts in contact with the fluid is able to withstand the most common corrosive
agents up to the highest temperatures. Even the nipples and 3 elements coupling supplied with the connection
fitting of the instrument are able to withstand a wide range of aggressive substances. For further information
on specific applications, contact the E+H Customer Service Department. Disassembled components of the sensors must be reassembled with the recommended clamping torques in order to ensure the appropriate IP protection class within the sensor-housing coupling. 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.

Extension neckA special extension is inserted between the husing and the thermowell connection, this part is called neck. The
neck is constituted by a tube assembled to hydraulic hardware (nipples or joints) that is suitable to allow the
adjustment of the sensor to the thermowell.
In addition to the standard versions listed below, it is also possible to order the extension neck by specifying
the desired length (see “Sales structure” chart at the end of this document). In the TR63 the standard lengths
(N) and the versions of the extension neck can be selected among the following options:

ensures a degree of protection from IP66 to

IP68. The head also has a chain to connect
the body to the cover, which facilitates the

As illustrated by the drawing in fig. 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”.
Before choosing the connection, it is better to
verify this graphic and therefore to choose a
suitable extension to avoid the heating of the
head.

In the case of PROFIBUS-PA® transmitters, E+H recommends the use of PROFIBUS® dedicated connectors.
The Weidmüller type is provided as a standard option. For detailed information about transmitters, please refer
to the relevant documentation (refer to TI codes at the end of the document). If a head-mounted transmitter
is not employed, the sensor probe may be connected through the terminal block to a remote converter (i.e.
DIN rail transmitter). The customer may specify the configuration desired during the order phase.
The head-mounted transmitters available are:

ThermowellThe thermowell is a component of the TR63 that must tolerate most of the mechanical stress transmitted by
the process.
It is made from pipe and supplied in different materials and dimensions, according the chemical/physical characteristics of the process: corrosion, temperature, pressure and speed of the fluid.

Process connection The standard process connections are threaded or flanged. When the process connection is threaded the mate-
rial of connection is the same at the thermowell instead, when the process connection is flanged the material
can be different: SS 316/1.4401or ASTM A105/St 52.3 U standard material.
When it is necessary to have a flange in special material, more resistant at the corrosion (example Hastelloy
C276), it is cheaper to choose an economic version composed by a flange in SS316/1.4401 with on wetted
part a platted in Hastelloy C276/2.4819 (this solution is very less expensive).

On request, it is possible to select also different materials, finishings and connections.
Probe In the TR63 the measuring probe are two:
• the TPR100 (for general purpose application)
• the TPR300 (ATEX certificated application)
Both of the probe are made in mineral insulated cable (MgO), with sheath in AISI316/1.4401.
The Immersion length (U) of the sensor can be chosen within a standard range from 50 to 3000 mm (see
"Warning" in the "thermowell" section).
The sensors with a Immersion length (U) > 3000 mm can be supplied after a technical verification of the specific applications from our technical office in the E+H Customer Service Department.
For replacement of the insert, it is necessary to refer the following table to have the IL (applicable only to standard thickness well bottoms). The immersion length of the insert spare part (IL) is calculated adding the total
length of the thermowell (A = L + E) and the length of neck (N) used.

Test on thermowell The pressure tests are carried out at ambient temperature in order to verify the resistance of the thermowell to
the specifications indicated by the norm DIN 43772.
With regards to the thermowells that do not comply with this norm (with a reduced tip, a tapered tip on a 9
mm tube, special dimensions), the pressure of the corresponding straight tube with similar dimensions is verified. The sensors certified for use in Ex Zones, are always tested to pressure according to the same criterions.
