Pipe-clamp sensor measures process temperature easily

The Rosemount® 0085 non-intrusive Pipe Clamp Sensor was announced by Emerson Process Management on 25 October 2012, providing a simple, fast solution for adding reliable temperature measurements and increased process visibility.

The sensor enables the addition of temperature measurements and increased process visibility in areas where intrusive sensors are not possible due to excessive stress placed on sensors with thermowells.

The Emerson Rosemount 0085 is optimised for ideal sensor-pipe contact and heat transfer, with a spring-loaded sensor and a highly conductive flat nickel or silver sensor tip. Its robust design was built to hold a transmitter in its assembly, and when paired with the Rosemount 648 wireless transmitter, the sensor gives operators immediate access to reliable temperature measurements, with no process intrusion.

With the sensor, process manufacturers will have enhanced visibility across their operation, and be better positioned to resolve issues proactively, improve operations, and meet quality and production targets while lowering costs. The sensor is easy to configure and maintain, and its simple two-bolt design makes it easy to install.
