FM-Approved Temperature Sensors have built-in conduit adapters.

Combining sensor, signal conditioner, and loop-powered 4-20 mA transmitter in one package, models of TT420-LT series have built-in fitting for -½ in. flexible liquid-tight conduit and grease-fitting (zerk) tap. Products are compatible with 2-wire, 4-20 mA current loops and analog inputs and are FM-approved as Dust Ignition-proof. Models are optimized for applications such as grain handling...

Temperature Compensation Sensor targets optical strain gauges.

Model K-OTC sensor, suited for type K-OL and K-OR optical strain gauges, compensates temperature response of gauges. Based on optical strain gauge applied to aluminum sensor body, it measures thermal dilatation of aluminum and temperature-dependent signal change of fiber Bragg grating, allowing signal of gauge to be compensated by computation. Sensor signal is read into catman-®AP software with...
