Endress+Hauser TR15 Modular RTD thermometer

Selection Notes

• Confirm the process temperature range, typically from cryogenic to high-temperature steam conditions
• Select appropriate process connection type, such as threaded, flanged, or weld-in installation
• Verify if a thermowell is required, especially for high-pressure or corrosive media
• Choose insert type, including mineral insulated (MI) or iTHERM StrongSens for enhanced stability
• Confirm hazardous area requirements, such as ATEX or IECEx approval if needed
• Define whether a head transmitter (4–20 mA / HART / Fieldbus) is required

Why Choose the TR15 Modular RTD Thermometer

• High Flexibility with Modular Design
The replaceable insert concept allows easy maintenance and reduced downtime. Therefore, calibration and replacement can be done without removing the entire assembly.

• Reliable Measurement in Harsh Conditions
Designed for high pressure (up to 400 bar) and extreme temperatures. As a result, it performs reliably in steam and gas applications.

• Fast and Stable Temperature Response
Optional tapered tip design improves thermal response time, ensuring faster process feedback.

• Wide Industrial Application Range
Suitable for chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, power generation, and general process industries.

• Thermowell Protection Capability
Can be installed with robust thermowells made of stainless steel, duplex, or alloy materials, ensuring safety in aggressive media.

• Flexible Communication Options
Supports head transmitters with 4–20 mA, HART, PROFIBUS, or FOUNDATION Fieldbus, enabling integration into automation systems.

• Hazardous Area Certified
Available with Ex ia and Ex nA approvals, making it suitable for explosive environments.
