Technical Information
Omnigrad S -TR65
RTD thermometer EEx-d or EEx-ia certified, no replaceable insert,
process connection: threaded welded and threaded compression fitting.
PCP (4...20 mA), HART® or PROFIBUS-PA® electronics
Range of uses
The Omnigrad S TR65 is an RTD industrial thermometer,
developed for use in the fine chemicals and petrolchemical
industry but also suitable for generic industrial 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 TR65 is available in different configurations, can also be
configured with specific dimensions and characteristics
depending on process requirements.
The installation on the plants normally needed a special process
connection: a compression fitting.

Function and system design
Measuring principle The 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.

(compression fitting)
sor is based on the following standards:
•EN 50014/18 (housing)
•Neck (Fixed or sliding process connection)
•IEC 60751 (insert and sensing element).
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 process connections of the TR65 are: compression fitting (sliding or spring loaded), fixed
process connection, threaded (M, GAS or NPT,
see the section "System components").
The inserts diameter is 3 - 4,5 - 6 - 8 mm and are
composed by MgO cable (SS 316L sheath) with
a sensing element (Pt100 ohm/0°C) positioned
at the MgO cable tip. The standard elettrical
connection is to 2, 3 or 4 wires for sensing element (Pt100).
