Contactless or flush temperature measurement in pipes or tanks with installation system Temperature sensors you can swap without interrupting your proces 3A/EHEDG-certified connections you can trust A complete hygienic solution that doesn't break the budget The Conventional Approach In most standard installations, temperature sensors are mounted directly in a pipe or tank. That means the process has to stop the moment a sensor needs to be removed for testing or recalibration: The tank must be emptied or the line shut down to prevent media from escaping, resulting in unplanned production downtime. When the sensor goes back in, qualified personnel need to ensure correct reinstallation in compliance with 3-A and EHEDG standards, followed by a full CIP cycle to rule out contamination. Anderson-Negele's installation systems with thermowells eliminate these challenges entirely. The immersion sleeve is either an integral part of a pipe section or a permanently welded or screwed-in element of the process or tank. That means even when the sensor is removed for testing or recalibration, the pipe or tank stays completely closed and aseptic: No process interruption or unplanned downtime. No contamination risk, and no scramble to meet 3-A and EHEDG compliance on reinstallation.
