2 Product description
The GTL723 pipe clamp-on sensors are especially useful as an Alternative to invasive and inline-measuring
procedures for monitoring sterilization processes.Without disturbing the process, the special clamp-on mechan-
ics make the systems flexible, absolutely dead spot-free, and usable without high installation costs. This meas-
uring procedure permits high-precision results.
The pipe clamp-on sensor consists of a sensor insert with the Pt100 sensor, integrated transmitter and the
pipeline adapter. With the aid of the microprocessor-controlled measurement, the user can adapt the parameter
setting to the process environment using a PC.

2.2 Operating principle
The GTL723 clamp-on sensor measures temperatures of liquids in metal pipelines without a process connector
touching the fluid. For this purpose, the clamp-on sensor is mounted on the exterior of the pipe at a suitable site.
The sensor plate is pressed to the exterior of the pipe wall by a spring. Constant pressure and shielding the
silicone from the ambient air guarantee an optimal thermal transfer. The one-piece measuring insert, which is
manufactured from premium-quality synthetic material prevents undesirable heat dissipation and reduces the
response time. The sensor plate inside the measuring insert is in direct thermal contact with the Pt100 sensor.
2.3 Pipe wall correction
A pipe clamp-on sensor causes a measuring error, since the pipe wall is between the fluid and the measuring
point. This error is largely compensated by the pipe wall correction by means of an expansion, a polynomial
determined through an elaborate series of tests. It is assumed that the pipes are stainless steel (any grade).
Pipe wall thicknesses of 1 to 4 mm for pipeline adapters of manufactured sizes #2 and #3, or of 1 to 2 mm for
pipeline adapters of manufactured size #1, are considered. The pipe wall correction differentiates applications
with and without heat-conductive paste. The necessary adjustment can be made with the GTL Configuration
tool.

3 Mounting and electrical installation
3.1 Mechanical mounting
The RLA pipe clamp sensors are available in three sizes. The adapters are adjusted to the pipe diameter (DN10
to DN80) with different highly heat- resistant silicone inserts.

Available for pipe standards: DIN 11850 r2 und DIN11866 rB, rC.
The cap nuts of the two adapter parts should be torqued to a value from 0.5 to 1 Nm (0.37 to 0.74 ft-lb) to avoid
a deformation of the silicone insert, which would prevent a correct fitting of the pipes.
For the same reason, all cap nuts must be torqued equally. This is especially important for pipes with small
diameters without the use of heat-conductive paste.
3.2 Mounting guidelines
(For mounting instructions, see Figure 7 Permissible types of mounting)
To ensure secure functionality and the best measuring results, please follow these mounting steps:
1. The pipe diameter should not deviate more than ± 1 % from the nominal diameter of the silicone insert.
2. Clean the exterior of the pipe before installation. Be sure that no chips, swarf, or other particles are
lodged between sensor and pipe because this would prevent the contact plate of the sensor from
being flush against the pipe, which reduces accuracy.
3. The installation site should be at least 15 cm (6 inches) from pipe el- bows, pipe reducers, and radial
welded seams. The sensor must not be placed on welded seams of axially welded pipes. The sensor
should be installed at a distance of at least15 cm (6 inches) from other installed sensors with fluid
contact.
4. Behind pipe elbows, the sensor housing should be installed on the out- side to prevent measuring
errors due to bubble formation or flow characteristics.
5. If the pipes are not completely filled, the sensor should be installed in the fluid-covered area of the
pipe.
6. Unilateral strain due to suspending heavy objects or taut connection wires should be avoided.
The sensor plate must be flush against the pipe.
7. If thermal compound is used between pipe wall and measuring tip, it should be replaced in the mainte-
nance interval according the maximum storage period of the paste.
8. The electrical installation must be made after the pipeline adapter is installed on the process line.

3.3 Mounting notes

Position
Characteristics
1
Ideal:
Achieves the best result, since there are no bubbles, deposits, or rising lost heat in the pipes
to distort the measuring result.
2
Questionable:
Lost heat and moving the contact area may lead to distorted measuring results.
3
Ideal:
Good measuring result, if no air bubbles form. Minimum distance to pipe angle 15 cm (6
inches)
4
Questionable:
Lost heat and too small a distance from the connection flange may lead to distorted measur-
ing results.
