This detailed product description presents a thermometer manufactured by Leitenberger MRT, designed for front mounting without bimetallic compensation, ideal for precise temperature measurement in industrial and cooling applications. This high-quality instrument, manufactured in Germany, guarantees reliability and a long service life.
This thermometer model (Part No.: 02.78) belongs to the category of thermometers without bimetallic compensation and is specifically optimized for front panel installation, complemented by U-clamp mounting. The device ensures extremely accurate measurement, with the possibility of correcting accuracy via rear adjustment.
Main Advantages:
High Accuracy: Measurement accuracy is ± 2%.
Rear Adjustment: It is possible to fine-tune the accuracy via the back of the instrument.
Robust Housing Options: Choice of ABS plastic or corrosion-resistant stainless steel housing.
Versatile Application: Ideal for refrigeration technology, industrial measurement, and testing areas.
Customizability: Various options are available, such as a pull indicator, custom dial, or colored scale.
The thermometer is available in two main case sizes, with different dimensions and designs, each guaranteeing durability and easy readability.
| Típus | Case Material | Size (Width x Height / Case Depth) | Window Material |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1072×72/60 KB/f | ABS, black | 72 x 72 mm / 60 mm | Plexiglass / Glass |
| 1096×96/80 KB/f | Stainless steel, with corrosion protection | 96 x 96 mm / 80 mm | Plexiglass / Glass |
The following table details the precise geometric data of the models with different sizes (based on the dimensions shown in the drawing):
| Típus | a (mm) | b (mm) | c (mm) | d (mm) | D (mm) | e (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1072×72/60 KB/f | 20 | 35 | 8 | 60 | 72 | 16 |
| 1096×96/80 KB/f | 20 | 35 | 6 | 80 | 96 | 16 |
Note: The parameters ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, ‘d’, ‘D’, ‘e’ shown in the table above indicate the installation and mounting dimensions of the instrument.
This thermometer bimetallic without compensation is functional, which means that changes in the ambient temperature can affect the thermometer, so for an accurate measurement, the temperature of the installation environment must be stable, or the rear adjustment must be used for compensation.
Accuracy: ± 2% referring to the full measuring range.
Adjustment: The accuracy can be corrected using an adjustment mechanism located on the back of the instrument.
In addition to the standard design, Leitenberger offers a wide range of customization options to meet unique application requirements:
Drag Pointer: Optionally equipped with an auxiliary indicator that displays the highest measured value and can be manually zeroed. This is particularly useful for recording maximum temperature peaks.
Customized Dial: The dial can be completely personalized, including the placement of logos or the addition of special markings.
Coloured Scale: Certain parts of the measuring range can be highlighted with coloured markings (e.g., to indicate warning zones or optimal operating ranges).
Appropriate sensing elements and connections are essential for precise temperature measurement. The following accessories are frequently used for this type:
Capillary tubes leading the thermometer sensor to the desired location are available in various materials and designs:
Stainless Steel (Naked): Extremely durable, natural stainless steel design.
Copper – Single Copper Braided (CU- single cooper braided): Copper capillary with good mechanical protection.
Copper – Double Copper Braided (Cu- double copper braided): Increased mechanical protection and stability.
Copper – PVC Coated (Cu-PVC coated): Copper capillary equipped with an external coating, which provides further protection in wet or corrosive environments.
Various types of probes (sensing elements) can be connected to the thermometer, which are placed at the measuring point:
Type 1 Probes (Type 1a, b, c): Basic probe designs.
Type 2 Probes (Typ 2a, b, c): Probes with special geometries.
Type 3 Probes (Typ 3a, b, c): Further probe variations.
Type 5 Probes (Typ 5a, b, c): Larger or specially fastened probes.
Type 6 Probes (Typ 6a): Sensors with custom design.
Type 7c and 7.1 Probes: Special temperature sensing elements.
For the protection of the probes and for easier replaceability, the use of thermowells (pockets) is recommended:
No. 8 Pocket (No. 8): Standard thermowell.
No. 9 Pocket (No. 9): Thermowell of alternative size or design.
Leitenberger thermometers are widely used in industries where precise temperature control is critical:
Refrigeration technology: Monitoring the temperature of climate control units, cold rooms, and freezers.
Industrial Measurement Technology: Continuous monitoring of the temperature of production lines and processes.
Industrial Test Technology: Recording temperature conditions during various testing procedures.
Automotive Applications: Although the product line includes thermometers for vehicles, this type is also excellently suitable for general industrial purposes.
This bimetallic thermometer with front mounting, without compensation, offers a reliable and customizable solution for professional temperature measurement.
