A Weld Pad RTD32 is a type of surface resistance temperature detector designed specifically for measuring temperatures on metal surfaces. It ensures precise thermal contact and accurate temperature readings by featuring a flat, flexible sensing tip that can be directly welded or brazed onto a metallic surface. This type of thermocouple is widely used in applications requiring permanent or semi-permanent temperature monitoring of pipes, vessels, and equipment in harsh industrial environments.

Application Note
The RTD32 Surface Mount Weld Pad Style RTD is widely used across heavy industry wherever permanent surface temperature monitoring of metallic components is required. Typical applications include pipe surface temperature monitoring in petrochemical, chemical processing and power generation facilities, pressure vessel and storage tank wall temperature measurement, heat exchanger shell and tube surface monitoring, boiler tube surface temperature measurement to detect overheating and corrosion, and surface temperature monitoring on reactors, furnace walls and industrial machinery components.
The RTD32 is also well suited to applications in the food and beverage industry for monitoring heating and cooling surface temperatures, in pharmaceutical manufacturing for precise temperature control of jacketed vessels, and in any industrial environment where non-invasive surface temperature measurement with a permanent bonded installation is required.
With its robust weld pad construction, wide temperature range, flexible element and wiring options, and high accuracy grades, the RTD32 from Tempotech Controls delivers consistent and dependable surface temperature measurement performance across the most demanding industrial applications.
