Compact Thermometers

Compact Thermometers

Compact thermometers combine sensing element, mechanical assembly, and electronics into a single, non‑dismantlable instrument. The small, lightweight form factor is designed for efficient use of space while maintaining reliable operation and simplified installation and commissioning. Integrated-transmitter architectures align with modern process instrumentation where fast deployment and consistent performance are prioritized.

A streamlined portfolio approach focuses on practical versatility rather than unnecessary complexity. Options span industrial and hygienic use, with multiple communication signals and a wide range of process connections. Configurations include threaded or hygienic connections, with or without a thermowell, and with or without local indication - supporting standardized builds for common measurement points while allowing fit‑for‑purpose selection where constraints differ.

Performance is driven by modern measurement technology in a compact mechanical envelope. Fast-responding sensor designs and coordinated sensor‑to‑transmitter matching are used to improve response time and accuracy, reducing lag in temperature-dependent control strategies. The overall design intent emphasizes a balanced price/performance ratio while remaining ready-to-use across a wide spread of application conditions.

For critical hygienic duties, self-calibration concepts are available within compact thermometer families. A Pt100 RTD can be combined with a fixed-point reference element that leverages the Curie-temperature effect to generate a dependable calibration signal, supporting clearer calibration status and reduced calibration effort. These approaches are aimed at lowering measurement uncertainty and reducing the operational burden of frequent calibration cycles.

Typical applications span life sciences, food & beverage, and general process environments where compact construction, rapid commissioning, and standardized output signals are valued. Skid-mounted systems, dense piping galleries, and retrofit points benefit from the reduced footprint and integrated design, while hygienic variants support high-integrity installations with appropriate process connections and verification strategies.
