Thermometers with switch contacts

Display and monitor limit values

Wherever the process temperature has to be indicated locally and, at the same time, limit values must be monitored, thermometers with switch contacts find their application. The switch contacts make or break the circuit dependent upon the pointer position of the indicating measuring instrument. If the reading is significantly above or below a set value, they trigger an alarm, hence also the term “alarm contact”. The instruments are also suitable for starting, stopping or switching processes.

When are thermowells or protection tubes typically used?

Thermowells and protection tubes are used in applications with aggressive media, high temperatures, and high flow rates, as they shield the temperature sensor from these extreme conditions. Thermowells and protection tubes also make it easier to re ...
