Description
Description
SOLCO PYEX-EP-RTD Ex Temperature Sensing Kit
The SOLCO PYEX-EP-RTD is an Ex-certified temperature sensing kit incorporating an RTD sensor probe and protective enclosure for industrial electric trace heating systems.
Designed for pipeline and ambient temperature sensing, the product is intended for hazardous-location applications including petrochemical plants, gas plants, shipbuilding and offshore installations.
The enclosure is made from fibreglass-reinforced polyester, with a UV-resistant and electrically conductive surface.
The published protection type is Ex e IIC Gb, with a T6 to T2 temperature classification range depending on the heating cable and RTD probe.
Pipeline and Ambient Temperature Sensing
SOLCO identifies two sensing applications for the PYEX-EP-RTD kit.
RTD sensing for pipelines within industrial electric trace heating systems.
RTD sensing of ambient temperature in industrial trace heating applications.
Key Product Features
Manufacturer-published protection type: Ex e IIC Gb.
Mineral-insulated RTD sensing probe extendable up to 2.0m.
Polyester enclosure with published dimensions of 122 x 120 x 90mm.
Enclosure surface specified as UV-resistant and electrically conductive.
RTD probe enters through an M16 metallic gland with compression seal.
Supplied with a terminal block supporting conductors up to 2.5mm².
