The Minco AS8119PD170W3S0X0X is a flameproof RTD sensor designed for use in hazardous areas classified as Zone 1 or Zone 2. It is compliant with IEC/EN 60079-0 and IEC/EN 60079-1 standards, as well as the ATEX directive 94/9/EC, ensuring safety in explosive environments. This sensor features a tip-sensitive probe made from stainless steel or MgO filled materials, providing a temperature measurement range from -50 to 260¬8C (-58 to 500¬8F). The spring-loaded holder enhances probe contact, while the connection head is available in various materials, including 316 stainless steel and aluminum alloys, with different ingress protection ratings (IP65 and IP66). The sensor supports a pressure rating of 50 psi (3.4 bar) for the spring-loaded holder and 100 psi (6.9 bar) for fluid seal fittings. It has an insulation resistance of at least 100 megohms at 100 VDC. The time constant for temperature response varies by probe type, with tip-sensitive probes responding in 1.5 seconds for single elements and 7 seconds for dual elements. Special options include higher temperature ranges, making this sensor suitable for diverse applications in hazardous environments.
Hazardous area rated temperature assemblies provide fast and accurate readings of bearings, blocks, frames, other surfaces, fluids or flows. Minco’s spring loaded holder ensures solid contact in drilled holes and has a built-in oil seal. The sensing probe features a copper alloy tip for quick response to temperature changes. Choose a thermowell option for high pressure or flow applications. Hazardous protection methods include explosion proof, flameproof and intrinsic safety methods.
