SST probe GUIDED WAVE™ RTD-SST

resistancefiber opticRTD

Our GUIDED WAVE™ RTD-SST (Resistance Temperature Detector) Process Probe gives reactor operators additional temperature data along with real-time near-infrared (NIR) measurements. By adding a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) to the industry-standard single-sided transmission (SST) probe, this fiber optic RTD-SST Probe provides more options for continuous process monitoring applications. The RTD-SST Probe is compatible with most analyzers and is easily installed in a pipe or reactor through a single access port. Older chemical plants or reactors without available access ports gain additional process analytical tool with this competitive solution. RTD-SST Probe Configurations The GUIDED WAVE RTD-SST (Resistance Temperature Detector) Process Probe is available in several configurations. One configuration includes the RTD built into the SST Probe at the path piece (tip). This design is for older reactors with no available ports and suits any flange size. The user can carry out a form-fit replacement of the existing thermal well and RTD. This RTD-SST probe provides better temperature compensation for NIR measurements than having an RTD and NIR probe installed on separate flanges. Corrosion resistant construction Rugged and vibration resistant design Sealed against ambient moisture infiltration High optical throughput for low noise spectroscopy Temperatures to 300 °C Pressures to 2000 psi or 138 bar Higher pressures are available on request
