Petro-Chemical Industry —Process Sensors & Assemblies

Refinery, petrochemical, and offshore process environments demand sensors that survive extreme temperatures, corrosive process fluids, vibration, and hazardous area classification. Thermometrics manufactures the full range of sensors for these applications, including explosion-proof assemblies, tube-skin thermocouples, and thermowell-mounted probes.

Product Guide

Explosion-Proof Assemblies

Complete thermocouple and RTD assemblies with UL/CSA-listed explosion-proof connection heads. Class I, Groups B/C/D, Division 1 and Division 2. Cast-iron and stainless steel housings with ½" NPT conduit entries.

  • UL/CSA-listed heads
  • Groups A, B, C, D available
  • Integrated transmitter mounting available

Tube-Skin (Weld-Pad) Thermocouples

Weld-pad tube-skin thermocouples for radiant furnace monitoring in refineries and petrochemical plants. Inconel sheath, Type K or N, welded to tube OD. Extension cable in armored MIMS format for high-temperature furnace environments.

  • Type K, N (high stability)
  • Inconel 600 pad and cable sheath
  • Dual-element (measuring + spare) standard

Thermowell-Mounted Probes

RTD and thermocouple elements sized for all standard thermowell bore diameters. Spring-loaded tip, quick-disconnect head, and matched thermowell bore geometry ensure repeatable thermal contact. ASME PTC 19.3 wake frequency support.

  • Spring-constant matched to thermowell bore
  • Head / thermowell supplied as a matched system
  • 316SS, Hastelloy, Monel thermowell materials

High-Pressure / High-Temperature

Sensors for high-pressure process streams above ANSI 900# flange rating. Extra-heavy-wall thermowell machined to pressure rating, certified material trace to ASME B31.3 heat number requirements. Witness inspection available.

  • To ANSI 2500# flange
  • ASME B31.3 material certification
  • Radiographic weld inspection available
01

Corrosion-Resistant Alloys

Sheath and thermowell materials selected for the specific corrosive medium: Hastelloy C276 for HCl and wet chlorine, Alloy 400 (Monel) for hydrofluoric acid, duplex 2205 for chloride-containing streams, and Inconel 625 for high-temperature oxidizing service.

02

API 670 Bearing Temperature

Bearing temperature sensors for rotating equipment per API 670 vibration and temperature monitoring standard. Pt100, 3-wire, Class B, with stainless-steel case and spring-loaded tip. Full lot documentation.

03

Type N for Long-Term Stability

Type N (Nicrosil/Nisil) thermocouples offer significantly better long-term drift characteristics than Type K at temperatures above 300°C, making them the preferred choice for continuous-duty furnace and process installations where calibration intervals are long.
