The RT7 RTD assembly is a resistance temperature detector designed for use in hazardous locations. The RT7 is a customizable product that is model number configured and made to order. The RT7 consists of a stainless steel RTD sensor, complete with a connection head (enclosure) that may be provided with a terminal block, DIN rail, wire splice connectors, or internal transmitter. Connection extension fittings will spring load the sensor into a thermowell or a fixed fitting can be used without a thermowell.
RT7 – Standard RTD Assembly
RT7 standard RTD assembly built for precise temperature sensing and dependable performance in a wide range of industrial environments.
