2.2.5 Neck tubes
The neck tube connects the process connection (i.e. screw socket or flange) to the connection
head. Its function is to largely thermally decouple the connection head so that it and any existing
temperature transmitter do not heat up too much. Depending on both the standard and the
version of the thermowell, there are different threads:
Available in both head-mounted and rail-
mounted version
Only available in rail-mounted version
TT 10 C/R (analogue, standard, 4...20 mA)
TT 31 R (3-wire circuit, 0/4...20 mA, outputs:
0/1...5 VDC, 0/2...10 VDC)
TT 11 C/R (analogue, 3- or 4-wire circuit, output:
0...10 VDC)
TT 32 R (4-wire circuit, 0/4...20 mA, outputs:
0/1...5 VDC, 0/2...10 VDC)
TT 20 C/R (analogue, 4...20 mA)
TT 30 C/R (digital, 4...20 mA, standard)
TT 40 C/R (digital, 4...20 mA, precise)
TT 50 C/R (digital, 4...20 mA, HART
®
)
TT 51 C/R (digital, 4...20 mA, HART
®
, SIL2)
TT 60 C/R (digital, Profibus-PA)
INFORMATION!
Consult the relevant transmitter handbook for more detailed information on the temperature
transmitters.
INFORMATION!
The thread for the connection head is the top thread in the following drawing. The dimension "a"
denotes the length of the neck tube.
