Description
The I category temperature sensor is the device to measure surface temperature of an object such as pipe, bar, tube, dusts or vessel walls. The typical sensing element can be in RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) or thermocouple (T/C).
The HAWK W model washer type temperature sensor is ideal for flat or slightly curved surface measurements. Its washer-shaped ring terminal enables easy and secure mounting under bolts or screws, ensuring consistent thermal contact and reliable temperature readings. Because of this design, it suits many industrial, commercial, and HVAC applications that require accurate surface temperature monitoring.
Typical Applications
- Monitoring automotive surface temperature(engine components, exhaust systems, or brake parts during testing or development).
- HVAC system duct surface measurement( Monitors heating, ventilation, and air conditioning units to maintain efficiency and detect faults).
- Industrial equipment surface monitoring (motors, pumps, compressors, and other machinery to ensure safe operation and prevent overheating).
- Process temperature control (e.g., chemical processing, plastics molding, and food production where thermal data is critical).
