EAC Ex Spring Loaded RTD Pt100 Sensors for the Petrochemical, Oil and Gas Industries

with a choice of Terminal Heads

These spring loaded flexible mineral insulated platinum resistance thermometers utilise, as standard, detector elements with a resistance of 100 ohms @ 0°C and a fundamental interval of 38.5 ohms to IEC 60751. The threaded flameproof extension is ideal for installation in thermowell pockets and where good contact with the process is required.
