Pyromation, Inc. products

The hand pyrometer thermocouple probes listed below are suitable for use in many process and laboratory applications for "spot checking"
temperatures of a variety of products and air flows. The probes are designed for use with Pyromation`s and other manufacturers` handheld pyrometers. All probes are supplied with retractable coiled cordset leads with an expandable length of 5 feet.

Pyromation’s miniature sensors are designed to measure the critical temperature of the metal bearing shoes operating in generators, turbines and other rotating equipment. Monitoring the bearing temperature of rotating equipment is very important in preventing machine failures caused by the breakdown of the lubricating oil when it becomes too hot. Pyromation not only provides a cost-effective line of  miniature sensors for these applications, they have experienced sales and engineering support available to assist you in finding the best way to measure temperature in your equipment.

The types listed below are RTD temperature sensor assemblies designed to meet the stringent requirements of ultra-high temperature (UHT) pasteurization systems.  In the UHT process the products are pasteurized at a higher temperature, typically 138° C for a shorter period of time - usually 2-3 seconds. The RTD sensor assemblies are available in a variety of accuracies, wire configurations, and termination options. They are also available with a variety of (4-20) mA transmitter options.  All wetted parts are supplied with a surface finish that meets or exceeds 32μin Ra. Surface finishes of 15μin Ra or better are available upon request. These assemblies are supplied with a 9/16” -18 UNF-2A process connection and Viton O-ring on the face of the fitting.

Fixed-Sheath Thermocouple Assemblies with General-Purpose Connection Heads have head mounting fittings that are welded or brazed to the sheath for direct immersion into a process. To order an assembly with an optional 4 to 20 mA transmitter, select the assembly below and the transmitter from the back of this section. The MgO-insulated thermocouple assemblies are offered in a variety of calibrations, sheath diameters, and sheath materials.

The drilled thermowells listed below are those most commonly found in process applications. Other types and styles are listed later in this section. The thermowells listed below are available as separate component wells and can be ordered by the code numbers listed below. They can also be ordered as a part of a complete sensor assembly. Consult factory for wells with different mounting threads, lengths, and materials.

The flanged thermowells described on this page are those commonly found in most process applications. These wells are supplied as standard- or heavy-duty with raised-faced flanges. Other types and styles are listed later in this section. Consult factory for wells with different flange sides, lengths, and materials.

Standard-Duty, Threaded Thermowells are available in a variety of materials, process connection sizes, lengths, and optional lagging extensions. Thermowell specifications should be determined based on process conditions which include strength, temperature, pressure and corrosion-resistance requirements. The stepped construction is used in standard-duty applications and increases the speed of response while maintaining mechanical strength. These thermowells are designed with standard 0.260` bore diameters to accommodate sensing elements with a 0.252` maximum diameter. These wells are available as separate components or as part of complete sensor assemblies.

The general-purpose, screw-cover connection heads listed below are rated for indoor or outdoor use providing protection against dust, rain, splashing and hose-directed water. These Pyromation design-patented connection heads have easy access, one-turn caps; accept Pyromation 300 series and DIN terminal blocks and transmitters, and provides greater volume for ease of field wiring.  When specified, the Series 31, 34 and 91 are rated for Class I Division II locations.  Please refer to page AC-5 & 6 for additional head descriptions and complete specifications.
