Instrumentation by magnitude

Temperatura

Medición en procesos industriales, laboratorios, cadena de frío y ambientes controlados. La magnitud de mayor alcance en el portafolio.

Temperature is the most measured variable in industry and the one with the widest reach in the AKRIBIS portfolio. It is rarely measured alone: in practice it accompanies humidity, CO2 and dew point, and derived variables that no process can calculate without it depend on its reading. It is in the continuous logging regulators require in pharmaceutical cleanrooms, in the ranges ASHRAE recommends for data centers and in the cold chain traceability of warehouses and storage facilities.

It is also the magnitude that most crosses the AKRIBIS ecosystem: instrumentation measures it, cold chain equipment —chambers, freezers and −80 °C ultra-freezers— sustains the measured condition, and the metrology laboratory certifies it with calibrations and thermal mappings traceable to the SI. Measuring, maintaining and certifying the same variable within a single platform is what turns a reading into data you can defend in an audit.

Technology

What makes Vaisala's temperature measurement reliable

Vaisala HMP155 humidity and temperature probe installed in an outdoor weather shelter

Vaisala measures temperature with platinum RTD elements —Pt100 and Pt1000—, the industrial standard for stability and repeatability: a resistor whose value changes with temperature in a known, linear way, which the instrument's electronics convert into a reading. In the line AKRIBIS represents, the temperature element travels integrated in the same probes and transmitters that measure humidity and CO2, so a single instrument delivers temperature along with the variables derived from the temperature–humidity pair, such as dew point or wet-bulb temperature.

Platinum RTD elements Pt100/Pt1000, the industrial standard for stability
Typical accuracy of up to ±0.1 °C
Operating ranges from −80 °C in meteorological probes to +180 °C in probes rated for sterilization cycles
Factory calibration with SI traceability
Combined measurement with humidity, CO2 and dew point in a single instrument
IP66 housings for outdoor use, ducts and demanding environments

The right probe depends on the range, the environment and which other variables the process needs — talk to a specialist for the specific configuration of your application.
