ABB has launched an enhanced version of its NINVA™ TSP341-N non-invasive temperature sensor, delivering safer and simpler temperature measurements for applications in the chemical, oil and gas industries.
The new NINVA is the first SIL2-certified non-invasive temperature transmitter, making it the safest non-invasive temperature measurement sensor on the market.
With proven performance over the last few years, ABB’s non-invasive approach dramatically simplifies temperature measurement by providing an alternative to a traditional invasive thermowell.
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 proven TTH300 temperature transmitter and delivers a range of new features based on customer feedback. These include a unique remote mount configuration, improved resistance to vibration, optional configurations for applications up to 550°C (1022°F), and simpler calibration and maintenance through extractable measuring insets with independent sensor calibration and trimming.
“Customers are really driving the market for non-invasive process measurement,” said Dr Guruprasad Sosale, ABB Measurement & Analytics.
“With an ever-growing need for sensing, global players in the chemical and oil and gas industries see the value of not having to stop the process or cut into piping to get more insights.
By turning a piece of process piping into a temperature measurement point, NINVA provides a simpler and safer way for plant operators to measure process temperature without compromising on performance – no shutdown, no holes, with dramatically simplified engineering.”
