FIRM SEATING AT THE MEASURING POINT Our pipe contact probes are designed for surface temperature measurements on pipes such as the flow and return in heating systems. Correctly adjusted flow and return temperatures are elementary for the efficiency of the entire heating circuit. If the flow temperature is too low, the room will not get warm. On the other hand, if it is too high, too much energy is wasted, causing unnecessarily high heating costs. The design of the contact sensors is decisive. This allows them to be ideally thermally coupled to the measuring point. Each measuring task requires a perfectly adapted geometry in order to increase the contact area and reduce the response time. We advise you on the optimum geometry for your application and adapt the contact temperature probes individually to your measuring task. Technical requirements Pipe contact probes Pipe contact probes use surface temperature measurement to detect the water temperature at the flow and return pipe of the heating system. This type of measurement has the advantage that the temperature sensors are easy to install and can be maintained or replaced fast and efficiently. At the same time, surface temperature measurement is significantly slower and less accurate than direct, inverse measurement. For this reason, the correct and uniform positioning of the contact sensor on flow and return pipes is important in order to keep measurement errors as small as possible. For this purpose, we deliver all our pipe contact sensors with a quick-release strap, which couples the temperature sensor thermally optimally.
