This non-invasive temperature sensor is SIL-2 certified

| By Gerald Ondrey

This company has launched an enhanced version of its Ninva TSP341-N non-invasive temperature sensor (photo), which is said to be the first SIL2-certified non-invasive temperature transmitter. Using the surface temperature of the piping to infer the process temperature, Ninva provides the same level of accuracy and performance of an invasive measurement device without the risks and lifecycle costs associated with specification, installation and maintenance. Now SIL2-certified, NINVA TSP341-N is built on the TTH300 temperature transmitter. New features include a unique remote-mount configuration, improved resistance to vibration, optional configurations for applications up to 550°C, and simpler calibration and maintenance through extractable measuring insets with independent sensor calibration and trimming. Clamp collars for pipe diameters of 40 to 2,500 mm and special designs for diameters below 40 mm also avoid the need for complex thermowell designs for smaller pipes. — ABB Ltd., Zurich, Switzerland
