Miniature CIP sanitary RTD temperature sensors are provided with 16AMP sanitary caps to fit 1\/2\" and 3\/4\" tube size sanitary fittings. They are used in pharmaceutical, chemical, biotech, R & D laboratory, and food process applications. The sanitary caps are welded to the sheath and to a heavier support tube, all of 316 stainless steel, and then ground and polished to a finish that exceeds the No. 4 minimum finish required by the 3-A Sanitary Standard 74- . Assemblies are supplied with a surface finish that meets or exceeds 15µin Ra. The process contact surfaces are free of pits, crevices, and pockets thus preventing corrosion and bacteria growth. All leads are Teflon® insulated to further provide moisture and chemical resistance. The listed sheath lengths provide assurance that the sensing element is properly placed in the flowing medium when used with typical sanitary tees and tube fittings, and the small sheath diameter provides fast temperature response times.
