IEC 60751: 2008 has been updated. from 2022-01-31, the current edition is called IEC 60751: 2022.

The biggest changes are:

• The numerical table for the relationship between temperature and resistance is replaced by a formula
• New item “Compliance and requirement” has been added
• Tolerance acceptance test has been updated

An updated labeling system is introduced to adapt to a specific temperature range

• The method for vibration tests has been revised
• The methods for type tests have been expanded with “Cold seal”
• The numerical table is now in Annex A

The above points do not affect practical temperature measurements with resistance thermometers.

We would like to draw your attention to Pentronic’s  temperature sensor 7610900. This Pt100 sensor comes in an flameproof Ex d (ATEX/IECEx) version for measuring the temperatures of gases and liquids in the process industry.

The process sensor, which has a terminal head and neck, can also now be ordered with a Ø3 mm diameter insert in addition to the existing
Ø6 mm one. A 3 mm sensor has a shorter response time and fits inside faster and thinner thermowells.The new version is third-party approved and has also been revised to comply with the updated standards of both ATEX and IECEx.

Pentronic’s Ex-classified Ex d sensor is approved for gas environments in the petrochemical industry.
However, there are also other environments containing gases that can ignite and explode and where corresponding safety measures are justified.
Examples include lacquering enterprises and processes handling medicines and chemicals. A need for Ex-classified temperature sensors can
also arise in environments where there is both gas and dust which create an explosion risk.

If you require other solutions for Ex-classified temperature sensors, contact Pentronic.

Check that your furnace meets the latest standards with Datapaq’sTP6 data logging system

Datapaq® – the specialist in data logging systems for measuring furnace temperatures – has now updated its product range.
Pentronic presents Datapaq’s new TP6 temperature profiling logger – the perfect solution for the most demanding heat treatment applications.

The TP6 has a stainless steel case, is available in 10 or 20 channel configurations, and has an IP67 rating.
It is equipped with a USB port and Bluetooth communication to enable quick and easy system installation from either a PC or a mobile phone.
The TP6 is compatible with Datapaq’s Insight™ software for a mobile app. It also has the option of telemetry for real time measurement.

Datapaq’s furnace tracker system saves you time when you install thermocouples for Temperature Uniformity Survey (TUS) measurements. It also optimises quality and productivity by providing thermal profiling throughout your entire process.
Yet another advantage is that you can use real time data to fine-tune / monitor the entire process while the tracker system is inside the furnace.

Pentronic News 2021-4

In this issue you can read about one of many promising initiatives which can help us come closer to the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement – the firm of Absolicon in the Swedish city of Härnösand is investing heavily in producing heat with the help of the sun, and this autumn officially opened Sweden’s largest installation for concentrated solar energy.

The holidays are fast approaching, and in this “Christmas” issue of Pentronic News you will find, among much else, advice on what to do to get the optimum taste from a piece of cheese on the Christmas dinner table – of course, it’s all to do with temperature!

Part number 09-00076

Pentronic presents the next-generation NIR gauge for optimised product quality and improved process monitoring.
The gauge replaces previous moisture gauges from NDC Technologies.

Unlike NDC’s multi-component Series 9 (previously presented in Pentronic News 21-1), the PrediktIR II measures only moisture content.
It is uniquely designed for the process measurement of moisture in materials such as wood chips, biomass, wood pellets, clay powder and sinter mix.

The PrediktIR II gives high measurement accuracy when measuring in all environments, independent of changes in ambient conditions such as lighting,
temperature or humidity. Offering the option of 24/7 connectivity that does not require manual sampling, the PrediktIR II gives both
improved yield and energy savings.

The instrument has a versatile process connection which is easily integrated into an existingcontrol system.
The new display that comes with the instrument has a newly updated interface.

Pentronic’s 11-00710 sensor is a hand-held thermocouple which is used to monitor
the cold chain of temperature-sensitive products. The sensor’s construction makes
it possible to access and measure the temperature between packagings in order to
ensure that the products are stored in optimal conditions during both transport and
storage.

The sensor is suitable for monitoring the cold chain of e.g. food and medicines.
For example, it can be used to monitor the transport and storage of vaccines. A cold chain
is characterised by temperatures below room temperature. This sensor measures temperatures
down to -80 °C. It is available as a type K and also as a type T with higher accuracy.
Pentronic can customise and design sensors for special needs – so don’t hesitate to
contact us if you require a specific solutionfor your particular cold chain.
