Pipe clamp RTD sensor is a type of RTD temperature sensor that is designed to measure the temperature of a pipe or cylindrical surface. The sensor is typically mounted onto the surface of the pipe or cylinder by clamping it onto the surface, hence the name “pipe clamp”.
The pipe clamp RTD sensor consists of an RTD element that is housed inside a protective sheath. The protective sheath is usually made of stainless steel, which is a durable and corrosion-resistant material. The sensor is designed to be clamped onto the pipe or cylinder using a spring-loaded clamp that applies a constant pressure to ensure good thermal contact between the sensor and the surface being measured.
The advantage of using a pipe clamp RTD sensor is that it can be easily installed and removed without the need for any special tools or equipment. This makes it a convenient and cost-effective option for measuring the temperature of pipes and cylinders in a variety of industrial applications.
Pipe clamp RTD sensors are commonly used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, as well as in industrial process control applications, such as in chemical and petrochemical processing plants, power generation facilities, and food and beverage manufacturing plants.
