Thermocouple Type Temperature Sensor

Thermocouple Type Temperature Sensor

The HNT30 is a modular temperature transmitter supporting thermocouple (K/E/S/R/B/T/J) and Pt100 RTD inputs, covering a full temperature range from –50°C to 1800°C. It features an all-metal armored structure with optional protection tubes made of corundum, high-alumina ceramic, or various stainless steel grades, and supports threaded or flanged connections. Options include HART protocol support and intrinsic safety/flameproof explosion-proof ratings (Ex ia/d IIC T1–T6), making it suitable for applications such as main steam lines in thermal power plants, thermal response monitoring for explosion products, and high-temperature chemical processes. With IP65/67 protection, Class I or II accuracy, and a response time of τ₀.₅ < 90 s (or < 150 s for certain specifications), it meets the requirements for long-term, reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

Typical Applications

 

 

product-800-800

Thermal Power and Thermal Energy Industry
Main steam pipeline temperature measurement: This application is specifically highlighted in the manual. The HNT30 utilizes a corundum (temperature resistant up to 1800°C) or high-alumina protective tube paired with a Type B or S thermocouple; capable of withstanding high-temperature, high-pressure steam (pressure <20 MPa) over the long term, it is used for temperature monitoring and interlocking protection at the outlets of boiler superheaters and reheaters.


 

Chemical and Petrochemical Industries
High-temperature reactors and cracking furnaces: The HNT30 offers an optional GH3030 alloy protective tube (temperature resistant up to 1100°C), making it suitable for temperature monitoring in process stages such as hydrocarbon cracking and catalytic reforming involving highly corrosive or oxidizing atmospheres.


 

Metal Smelting and Heat Treatment
Smelting and annealing furnace chamber temperatures: With an upper measurement limit of 1600–1800°C, the unit employs a Type B or S thermocouple paired with a double-layer ceramic sleeve (Φ25 mm). It is capable of long-term operation in oxidizing or neutral atmospheres and is used for furnace temperature uniformity testing and combustion control.

 

 

 

 

Why Choose HNT30 ?

 

 

For ultra-high temperatures (>1100°C), a dual-layer ceramic sleeve (Φ25 mm) is employed; the air gap between the inner and outer tubes utilizes low thermal conductivity to retard heat transfer, thereby keeping the inner tube approximately 200–300°C cooler than the outer wall-reducing the oxidation rate of the thermoelectrode and extending service life.


An integrated NTC sensor provides real-time terminal temperature measurement, applying compensation to the 0°C reference junction with an error of approximately ±0.5°C. When equipped with a transmitter, thermocouple non-linearity is corrected via piecewise interpolation or polynomial fitting, yielding a linear 4–20 mA output that eliminates the need for secondary lookup tables.


Ex d (Flameproof): The housing withstands internal explosions and quenches flames; suitable for Zone 1/2.

Ex ia (Intrinsically Safe): Circuit energy is limited to safe levels; suitable for Zone 0/1, allowing for live maintenance.

Rated for Gas Group IIC (hydrogen/acetylene) and Temperature Classes T1–T6 (maximum surface temperature ≤85°C).

IP65/IP67 all-metal sealed construction; suitable for outdoor use, washdown areas, and high-dust environments.

HNT30 Armored Temperature Sensor

Specific Parameters

Value / Description

Measurement Principle

HNT30 armored temperature sensor (usually armored thermocouple or thermal resistor) works based on the thermoelectric effect or the principle of resistance change with temperature. Its core is to encapsulate the temperature sensing element within a metal protection tube, filled with insulating material inside, generating a weak thermoelectric potential (thermocouple) or resistance change (thermal resistor) due to external temperature difference, achieving high precision and fast response temperature measurement.

Application

1. High-temperature measurement in industrial processes, suitable for liquids, steam, gases, and fixed surface temperatures.
2. Temperature measurement of main steam pipelines in thermal power plants, thermal response detection of explosion products, heating technology measurement, and applications in chemical, steel, and other industries.
