Temperature

Temperature measurement covers sensors, assemblies, and transmitters that determine process temperature in pipes, vessels, and equipment. It is described as the most frequently measured parameter in the process industry and is highly relevant for safety, efficiency, and final product quality. Endress+Hauser presents a complete assortment of temperature sensors and components—including thermowells, inserts, transmitters, and accessories—configured for both industrial and hygienic applications. 

At the sensing element level, RTD (resistance temperature detector) and thermocouple technologies are commonly applied because they can be engineered for accuracy, robustness, and long-term stability in harsh conditions. Mechanical design choices—thermowell selection, immersion length, response time, vibration resistance, and process connection—are integral to the measurement’s integrity, especially at high pressure, high temperature, or in corrosive services. 

Modern temperature assemblies are also defined by electronics and integration. Different housing types, a range of digital and analog output signals, and approvals support optimal selection and make thermometers suitable for diverse control architectures. Seamless integration across common protocols and internationally tested certifications for metrology, hazardous areas, and safety simplify standardization across sites.

Benefits include enhanced efficiency and safety through strong measurement performance, lower operating costs through long lifetime and ease of handling, and higher availability supported by reliable sensor technology and traceable, accredited calibrations. Non-invasive approaches are also emerging; Endress+Hauser highlights a surface-mounted solution that measures process temperature without the risk of leakage and process disruption while maintaining high performance.

Typical applications include reactor temperature control, distillation and heat exchanger monitoring, steam and utility temperature measurement, sanitary processing with hygienic connections, high-temperature services, multipoint profiling in large vessels, and surface measurement where cutting into the pipe is undesirable. Proper sensor selection and installation practice provide stable, repeatable temperature data that supports tight control and reliable protection functions.
