Temperature is a critical parameter in all systems, regardless of the process. In every heating or cooling system, variations occur throughout the medium—temperature gradients always exist. In many applications, measuring temperature at a single point is sufficient, as minor variations often have little impact. However, in certain applications, uniform temperature measurement is essential to ensure product quality. TempoTech’s Free Hanging style Multipoint temperature sensors provide accurate measurements at multiple points along a single sensor assembly. Free hanging design is inexpensive compare to guide tube and heat sink guid tube and simple to maintain on site as thermocouples are installed inside the tubes free hanging ann individual thermocouple can be removed without needing to remove other thermocouples. . They are widely used in complex processes where precise temperature control is necessary such as Distillation and Separation Processes, Heat exchanger temperature profiling , Polymerization and Chemical Process, Reactor Temperature, Distillation Columns,Crude Oil Desalting, Fluidized Catalytic Cracking, Visbreaking Units and many more. These sensors are specifically designed for applications that require high-precision temperature monitoring across a wide temperature range. Multipoint sensors are constructed using MGO-PAC thermocouples housed within protective tubes, with sensing elements placed at different points inside the tube. TempoTech offers multipoint sensors in a variety of materials to meet diverse process requirements.

Application Note
Multipoint temperature sensors provide precise temperature measurements at different points along the sensor’s length. They are commonly used in a wide variety of industries and applications, particularly in processes where maintaining tight temperature control is essential. In any system, temperature variations are inevitable, regardless of the materials used, the working fluid, or the system’s design. No process that involves heating a substance can guarantee a uniform temperature throughout; temperature gradients are always present. While measuring temperature at a single point can be sufficient for many processes where temperature differences are minimal, certain applications require monitoring temperatures at multiple locations. This ensures that the process remains safe, accurate, and cost-effective. However, using multiple standalone temperature sensors may not be feasible due to budgetary constraints or limited space.
