Bimetal thermometers
A robust, simple solution for local readings on pipes, tanks and machinery. No electrical supply, with a wide choice of dial sizes, connections and lengths.
Local indication and sensors
Thermometers and temperature sensors
From local mechanical readings to immersed electrical sensors. Selection depends on range, accuracy, response time, process, installation and signal-transmission requirements.
Supply: for mechanical thermometers, we work with manufacturers such as WIKA and Te.Ma Vasconi; for process sensors, we can also supply ABB SensyTemp TSP assemblies.
Local thermometers
Indication without a power supply
Gas-filled thermometers
Gas-filled systems also support remote capillaries, useful where the dial needs to be away from the measurement point or more accessible.
Electrical sensors
RTD/Pt100 or thermocouple?
RTD / Pt100
Normally preferred where accuracy, stability and repeatability matter. Widely used in processes, utilities, food and pharmaceuticals, skids and machinery.
Available types include Pt100, Pt1000 and other resistance curves according to application.
Thermocouple
Often preferred for higher temperatures, rapid response or greater robustness in demanding conditions.
Common types: J, K, T, N, E, R, S and B.
Maximum temperature alone is not enough: sheath, diameter, insulation, insertion depth, thermowell and response time can completely change sensor behaviour.
ABB SensyTemp
Standard or heavy-duty sensor
SensyTemp TSP RTDs
Modular assemblies with an RTD element, connection head and configurable thermowell. Available with direct sensor output or an integrated transmitter.
SensyTemp TSP thermocouples
Assemblies for high temperatures and demanding processes, configurable by thermocouple type, sheath, thermowell, material and head.

FAQ
Thermometer and sensor FAQ
When should I choose a bimetal thermometer?
For simple, robust local indication without power, with a response suitable for processes that are not extremely fast.
When is a gas-filled thermometer preferable?
For greater installation flexibility, a remote capillary or a faster response than many bimetal designs.
Pt100 or thermocouple?
Pt100 is normally preferred for accuracy, stability and repeatability. Thermocouples are often preferred for higher temperatures, rapid response or demanding conditions.
What is the difference between TSP111, TSP121 and TSP131?
TSP111 has no integrated thermowell, TSP121 has a welded protection tube, and TSP131 has a solid-machined thermowell.
Can sensors include an integrated transmitter?
Yes. SensyTemp assemblies can provide a direct sensor output or include 4–20 mA/HART, PROFIBUS PA or FOUNDATION Fieldbus transmitters, depending on configuration.
