Function and system design

Measuring principle Thermocouples (TC)
Thermocouples are comparatively simple, robust temperature sensors which use the Seebeck effect
for temperature measurement: if two electrical conductors made of different materials are connected
at a point, a weak electrical voltage can be measured between the two open conductor ends if the
conductors are subjected to a thermal gradient. This voltage is called thermoelectric voltage or
electromotive force (emf.). Its magnitude depends on the type of conducting materials and the
temperature difference between the "measuring point" (the junction of the two conductors) and the
"cold junction" (the open conductor ends). Accordingly, thermocouples primarily only measure
differences in temperature. The absolute temperature at the measuring point can be determined
from these if the associated temperature at the cold junction is known or is measured separately and
compensated for. The material combinations and associated thermoelectric voltage/temperature
characteristics of the most common types of thermocouple are standardized in the IEC 60584 and
ASTM E230/ANSI MC96.1 standards.

Resistance thermometer (RTD)

These resistance thermometers use a Pt100 temperature sensor according to IEC 60751. The
temperature sensor is a temperature-sensitive platinum resistor with a resistance of 100 Ω at
0 °C (32 °F) and a temperature coefficient α = 0.003851 °C-1.
There are generally two different kinds of platinum resistance thermometers:
• Wire wound (WW): Here, a double coil of fine, high-purity platinum wire is located in a ceramic
support. This is then sealed top and bottom with a ceramic protective layer. Such resistance
thermometers not only facilitate very reproducible measurements but also offer good long-term
stability of the resistance/temperature characteristic within temperature ranges up to
600 °C (1 112 °F). This type of sensor is relatively large in size and it is comparatively sensitive to
vibrations.
• Thin film platinum resistance thermometers (TF): A very thin, ultrapure platinum layer,
approx. 1 μm thick, is vaporized in a vacuum on a ceramic substrate and then structured
photolithographically. The platinum conductor paths formed in this way create the measuring
resistance. Additional covering and passivation layers are applied and reliably protect the thin
platinum layer from contamination and oxidation, even at high temperatures. The primary
advantages of thin film temperature sensors over wire wound versions are their smaller sizes and
better vibration resistance. A relatively low principle-based deviation of the resistance/
temperature characteristic from the standard characteristic of IEC 60751 can frequently be
observed among TF sensors at high temperatures. As a result, the tight limit values of tolerance
category A as per IEC 60751 can only be observed with TF sensors at temperatures up to approx.
300 °C (572 °F). For this reason, thin-film sensors are generally only used for temperature
measurements in ranges below 400 °C (752 °F).

Measuring system Endress+Hauser offers a complete portfolio of optimized components for the temperature measuring
point – everything you need for the seamless integration of the measuring point into the overall
facility.
This includes:
• Power supply unit/active barrier

Equipment architecture The multipoint thermometer belongs to a range of modular product configuration for multipoint
temperature detection with a design where subassemblies and components can be managed
individually for easy maintenance and spare part ordering.
It consists of the following main sub-assemblies:
• Single point insert: Done by a metal sheathed sensing measuring element (thermocouple or
resistance), extension cables and transition bushing. When applicable, each insert can be handled
as an individual spare part that may be replaceable by untightening its compression fitting
installed onto the process connection. They can be ordered via specific standard product order
codes (e.g. TSC310, TST310) or special codes. For the specific order code please contact the
Endress+Hauser service department.
• Multiple insert: Composed of a plurality of independent metal sheated thermocouple cables in
one probe, each of them provided with its seal pot and extension cables resulting in a dual seal
insert design (Endress+Hauser ProfileSens).
• Process connection: Represented by an ASME or EN flange, it might be provided with eyebolts for
lifting the device.
• Head: It is composed of a junction box provided with its components such as cable glands, draining
valves, earth screws, terminals, head transmitters, etc.
• Neck: It is designed to support the junction box by components such as supporting rods and plates
or tube extension.
• Additional accessories: Components that can be ordered independently from the selected product
configuration, such as clips, pads, tips, spacers and plates for tag sensors.
• Thermowells: They are directly welded on the process connection, designed to guarantee higher
degree of mechanical protection and corrosion resistance for each sensor.

In general, the system measures the temperature profile inside the process environment by means of
many sensors, jointed to a suitable process connection which ensures the right tightness levels.
Externally, the extension cables are wired into the junction box, which can be directly mounted or
remote as option.

The modular multipoint thermometer is characterized by the following possible main configurations:
• Linear configuration
The different sensors are aligned along
the straight direction coinciding with the
longitudinal axis of the multipoint
assembly itself (linear multipoint
measurement). This configuration can be
used to install the multipoint either in an
1 existing thermowell as part of the reactor
or in direct contact with the process.
• 3D distribution configuration
For a high number of measuring points,
each multipoint cable sensor can be bent
and arranged in a three dimensional
configuration by fixing them through clips
or other equivalent accessories. This
configuration is commonly used to reach
several measurement points distributed at
different cross sections and levels. Specific
support frames can be provided and
installed on request if they are not already
available on site.

Calibration Calibration is a service that can be performed on each individual insert, either in order phase, or after
multipoint installation.
When calibration shall be performed once the multipoint is installed, please contact the
Endress+Hauser service to get full support. Together with the Endress +Hauser service any
further activity can be organised to achieve the calibration of the target sensor. In any case it is
forbidden to unscrew any threaded component on the process connection under operating
conditions = running process.
Calibration involves comparing the measured values of the sensing elements of the multipoint
inserts (DUT device under test) with those of a more precise calibration standard using a defined and

Endress+Hauser 13
 iTHERM MultiSens Flex TMS01

reproducible measurement method. The aim is to determine the deviation of the DUT measured
values from the true value of the measured variable.
In case of multipoint cable sensor, temperature controlled calibration baths from
–80 to 550 °C (–112 to 1 022 °F) can be used only for the last measuring point (when NL-LMPx <
100 mm (3.94 in)) for either factory calibration or accredited calibration. Special bore through
calibration furnaces with homogeneous distribution of temperature are used for thermometer
factory calibration along the length: 200 to 550 °C (392 to 1 022 °F)
Two different methods are used for the inserts:
• Calibration at fixed-point temperatures, e.g. at the freezing point of water at 0 °C (32 °F).
• Calibration compared against a precise reference thermometer.
Evaluation of inserts
If a calibration with an acceptable uncertainty of measurement and transferable measurement
results is not possible, Endress+Hauser offers an insert evaluation measurement service, if
technically feasible.

Installation
Mounting location The installation location must meet the requirements listed in this documentation, such as ambient
temperature, protection classification, climatic class, etc.. Care should be taken when checking the
sizes of possible existing support frames or brackets welded on the reactor’s wall (usually not
included in the scope of delivery) or of any other existing frame in the installation area.

Orientation No restrictions. The multipoint thermometer can be installed either in horizontal, oblique or in
vertical configuration, related to the reactor or vessel vertical axis.

Installation instructions The modular multipoint thermometer is designed to be installed with a flanged process connection
into a vessel, reactor, tank or similar environment. All parts and components have to be handled
with care. During the installation phase, lifting and introduction of the equipment through the
preset nozzle, the following must be avoided:
• Misalignment with the nozzle axis.
• Any load on the welded or threaded parts due to the action of the weight of the device.
• Deformation or crushing of the threaded components, bolts, nuts, cable glands and compression
fittings.
• Bending radius of the thermowells smaller than 20 times the diameter of the thermowell.
• Friction between the temperature probes and the internals of the reactor.
• Fixing the temperature probes to the reactor's infrastructures without allowing axial displacements
or movements.
• A bending radius of the sheathed cable (inserts) smaller than 5 times the outer diameter of the
sheathed cable.

Process
The process temperature and process pressure are the minimum input parameters for the selection
of the right product configuration. If special product features are requested, additional data such as
process fluid type, phases, concentration, viscosity, stream and turbulences, corrosion rate have to be
considered as mandatory for the whole product definition.

Process temperature range Up to +1 150 °C (+2 102 °F).

Process pressure range 0 to 100 bar (0 to 1 450 psi)

Anyhow, the maximum required process pressure has to be combined with the maximum
design process temperature. Process connections like compression fittings, flanges with their
specific ratings, thermowells, selected according to the plant requirements, define the
maximum process conditions at which the device has to operate. Endress+Hauser experts can
support the customer on any related questions.
Process applications:
• Olefins
• Ethylene
• Propylene
• Aromatics
• Benzene
• N-based inorganics
• Ammonia
• Urea
• NGTL
• Distillation units and hydrogenation

Mechanical construction
Design, dimensions The overall multipoint assembly is composed of different sub-assemblies. Both linear and 3D
configurations have the same features, dimensions and materials. Different inserts are available,
based upon specific process conditions, in order to have the highest accuracy and an extended
lifetime. In addition, protecting thermowells can be selected to further increase mechanical
performances and corrosion resistance, and to allow insert replacement. Associated shielded
extension cables are provided with high resistance sheath materials to withstand different
environmental conditions and to ensure steady and noiseless signals. The transition between the
inserts and the extension cable is obtained by the usage of specially sealed bushings, ensuring the
declared IP degree protection.

Neck extension
The neck extension ensures the connection between the flange and the junction box. The design has
been developed to ensure several mounting layouts to deal with possible obstacles and constraints
that can be met in any plant such as the reactor’s infrastructure (step ways, loading structures,
supporting skirts, stairs, etc.) and reactor thermal insulation. The neck extension design ensures easy
access for monitoring and maintaining inserts and extension cables. It guarantees a high stiffness
connection for the junction box and vibration loads. No closed volumes are present in the neck
extension. This avoids the accumulation of waste and potentially dangerous fluids coming from the
environment that can damage the instrumentation allowing continuous ventilation.
