Multipoint Temperature Sensors

Multipoint temperature sensors and assemblies are constructed using either thermocouple or RTD temperature sensing elements. The temperature sensor points are sheathed for protection from the process or built into a larger assembly.

Multipoint temperature sensors and assemblies are used in industrial process environments where multiple temperature readings are required in a single temperature sensor connection point. They are commonly found in process reactors, catalytic crackers, fractionization towers, vessels and storage tanks. Multipoint’s optimize the process by providing temperature profiles across a specific areas of the chemical reaction or process media.

Common Applications

Multipoint temperature sensors are often used in:

  • Process reactors
  • Catalytic crackers
  • Fractionation towers
  • Storage tanks
  • Vessels
  • Chemical process systems
  • Industrial temperature profiling applications

They are useful in applications where teams need to understand temperature differences across a process, not just at one point.

Key Design Considerations

When specifying a multipoint temperature sensor, the assembly should be matched to the process and installation requirements.

Important factors include:

  • Process media, temperature and pressure compatibility
  • Connection to process, commonly flanged or threaded
  • Sensor type, including thermocouple or RTD
  • Number of measurement points
  • Location of each measurement point
  • Insertion length
  • Sensor housing or assembly style
  • Diameter of the sensor housing
  • Material compatibility with the process
  • Transition to lead wire and lead wire type
  • Electrical termination requirements

These details help determine whether the assembly should use thermocouple or RTD elements, a flexible or rigid design, a specific sheath material, or an integrated junction box.
