RTD TH13, TH14 and TH15: Technical Information
RTD TH13, TH14 and TH15: Technical Information
Areas of application
The TH13, TH14 and TH15 temperature sensors are RTD
assemblies installed in Thermowells and designed for use in
all types of process industries, including harsh environments,
due to their rugged design.
The sensor is made up of a measurement probe with an
insulated RTD element, sheath and a thermowell made of
bar-stock material.
The sensor assemblies can be used in process industries such
as:
• Chemicals
• Petrochemical
• Power plants
• Refineries
• Offshore Platforms
Head transmitters
Instead of directly wiring your temperature sensors to your
control system, use transmitters to reduce wiring and
maintenance costs while increasing measurement accuracy.
Field transmitters
Temperature field transmitters with HART® or
FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ protocol for highest reliability in
harsh industrial environments. Blue backlit display with large
measured value, bargraph and fault condition indication for
ease of reading.

Equipment architecture The single and duplex element RTDs are designed to measure temperature in a variety of processes and
laboratory applications. These RTDs are specifically designed for use in two different process temperature
ranges and they will provide accurate and repeatable temperature measurement through a broad temperature
range of -328 to 1112 °F (-200 to 600 °C). Low range thin film RTDs -58 to 392 °F (-50 to 200 °C) are
constructed using silver plated and copper internal leads, PTFE wire insulations with potting compounds to
resist moisture penetration. High range RTDs -328 to 1112 °F (-200 to 600 °C) are constructed with nickel
internal leads inside swaged MgO insulated cables to allow higher temperature measurements at the RTD
element and to provide higher temperature lead protection along the sheath.

! Note!
Options J, K, L, M are duplex platinum elements of two sensors inside the same sheath.
! Note!
Use option code ’B’ (Block: Test; calibration) for RTD calibration, the three temperature points need to be
specified in 5 °C (9 °F) increments.
The manufacturer provides comparison temperature calibrations from -40 to +215 °C (-40 to +420 °F) on the
international temperature scale of 1990. Calibrations are traceable to standards maintained by the national
institute of standards and technology (NIST). Calibration services are in conformance with ASTM E220, IEC
17025 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994. The report of calibration is referenced to the serial number of the RTD
assembly.
Three point calibrations are provided, given that the specified temperatures are within the recommended range
and the minimum length requirements are met as specified. The minimum length is based on overall length ’x’
of the spring loaded insert.

Electronics
Family of temperature Measurement assemblies with iTEMP® transmitters are an installation ready solution to improve the
transmitters functionality of temperature measurement by increasing accuracy and reliability when compared to direct
wired sensors. Overall installation costs are lower than with direct wired sensors, since an inexpensive pair of
signal (4 to 20 mA) wires can be run over long distances.
PC programmable devices PC programmable head transmitters offer you extreme flexibility and help control costs with the ability to stock
TMT180 and TMT181 one device and program it for your needs. Regardless of your choice of output, all iTEMP® transmitters can be
configured quickly and easily with a PC. To help you with this task, Endress+Hauser offers free software

! Note!
Response times for RTD assemblies with thermowell are provided for general design guidance without
transmitter
When the temperature of a process media changes, the output signal of a RTD assembly follows this change
after a certain time delay. The physical cause is the time related to heat transfer from the process media through
the thermowell and the insert to the sensor element (RTD). The manner in which the reading follows the
change in temperature of the assembly over time is referred to as the response time. Variables that influence
or impact the response time are:
• Wall thickness of thermowell
• Spacing between RTD insert and thermowell
• Sensor packaging
• Process parameters such as media, flow velocity, etc.
! Note!
For measurement errors in °F, calculate using equation above in °C, then multiply the outcome by 1.8.

Self heating RTD elements are not self-powered and require a small current be passed through the device to provide a
voltage that can be measured. Self-heating is the rise of temperature within the element itself, caused by the
current flowing through the element. This self-heating appears as a measurement error and is affected by the
thermal conductivity and velocity of the process being measured; it is negligible when an Endress+Hauser
iTEMP® temperature transmitter is connected.

Immersion
Minimum immersion per ASTM E644, ∆T ≤ 0.09 °F (0.05 °C)
Immersion RTD assembly TH15 without thermowell
For temperature assemblies with themowell (TH13 and TH14) the minimum immersion is the depth to which
the thermowell is immersed in the medium, measured from the tip. To minimize errors from ambient
temperature the following minimum immersion lengths are recommended:
Environmental conditions
Process conditions
Thermowells are used in measuring the temperature of a moving fluid in a conduit, where the stream exerts
an appreciable force. The limiting value for the thermowells is governed by the temperature, the pressure and
the speed of the medium, the immersion length, the materials of the thermowells and the medium, etc.
Calculations for stress and vibration of thermowells can be done according to ASME PTC 19.3-1974 standard,
please consult Endress+Hauser.
