The SICK THTL temperature sensor is an in-line thermometer designed for hygienic temperature measurement in piping systems. Its inline housing is fitted directly into the pipe, allowing it to measure temperature within the flowing medium without disrupting process flow. The sensor features a Pt100 element housed inside a thermowell, ensuring accurate readings while maintaining clean, safe operation. Ideal for environments requiring strict hygiene standards, the THTL is widely used in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biotechnology applications. Its robust design supports both continuous monitoring and routine maintenance, enabling quick replacement during calibration or servicing. This ensures uninterrupted hygienic process performance and high equipment availability.
The THTL leverages corrosion-resistant stainless steel wetted parts to meet strict hygienic standards, ensuring safe operation in demanding environments. The thermowell design places the Pt100 sensor directly within the flowing medium, providing accurate temperature readings with fast response times due to minimal thermal inertia. This construction supports compliance with CIP (clean-in-place) and SIP (sterilize-in-place) processes, enabling seamless integration into automated cleaning cycles. The sensor’s hygienic design reduces contamination risks and simplifies maintenance, allowing for rapid replacement without compromising process integrity or safety.
The THTL temperature sensor features a Pt100 element located within a thermowell, positioned directly in the medium flow. The wetted components are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, ensuring durability and compliance with hygienic standards. The design enables quick response times due to minimal thermal lag. Available with an integrated transmitter, the THTL provides a 4 mA to 20 mA output signal for direct integration into control systems. This output allows precise temperature monitoring and process feedback without requiring additional signal conditioning or external transmitters.
The THTL is available with an integrated transmitter that delivers a 4 mA to 20 mA output signal, enabling direct connection to existing control systems such as PLCs or DCS. This simplifies installation and reduces wiring complexity. In addition to the direct electrical connection to the Pt100 element, the sensor offers a ready-to-use output for process monitoring and automation. The in-line housing design allows straightforward installation into pipes, with easy access for maintenance or calibration. Its modular structure ensures compatibility with standard piping configurations and supports safe, hygienic operation throughout the process lifecycle.
The THTL is designed to operate reliably in environments where hygiene and process safety are critical. It is suitable for use in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biotechnology applications involving continuous or cyclic processes. The sensor’s stainless steel construction ensures resistance to corrosion and contamination, making it ideal for both clean and mildly corrosive media. Its ability to withstand CIP and SIP cycles confirms its suitability for environments requiring regular cleaning and sterilization without damage to the sensor elements.
The SICK THTL is specifically designed for hygienic temperature measurement in industrial piping systems. It is commonly used in food and beverage processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetic production, and biotechnology operations where contamination control is essential. The sensor’s compatibility with CIP and SIP processes ensures safe, reliable operation during cleaning cycles. Its quick replacement capability supports high equipment availability and reduces downtime. By providing accurate, real-time temperature data through a 4 mA to 20 mA output signal, the THTL enables effective process control and monitoring in demanding hygienic environments.
