Description Fig. left: lower mount (radial), model R73.100

Fig. centre: with capillary and instrument mounting
The model 73 gas-actuated thermometer has been devel- bracket, model F73.100
oped and is manufactured in accordance with the EN 13190 Fig. right: adjustable stem and dial version,
standard. This high-quality thermometer has been designed model S73.100
especially for the requirements of the process industry. The
thermometer, completely manufactured from stainless steel,
is used particularly successfully in the chemical and petro-
chemical, oil and gas, and power engineering industries.

To allow optimum fitting to the process, individual inser- are possible without any contact with the medium, even when

be used in outdoor applications even at negative temper-
atures. With liquid damping operation under high vibration When it comes to harsh climatic conditions at the place of
conditions is possible. Due to the wide variety of possible use, the model 73 is the right choice, as it can be used at
designs, the model 73 gas-actuated thermometers can be temperatures ranging from -40 °C [-40 °F] ... +60 °C [+140 °F]
perfectly adapted to any process connection or location. (In the POLARgauge® version also to -50 °C [-58 °F] of -70 °C
With the contact bulb version, temperature measurements [-94 °F]).

Thermowell/protection tube In principle, the operation of a mechanical thermometer is possible without a thermow-
ell/protection tube with low process-side loading (low pressure, low viscosity and low
flow rates).

However, in order to enable exchanging the thermometer during operation (e.g. instru-
ment replacement or calibration) and to ensure a better protection of the instrument
and also the plant and the environment, it is advisable to use a thermowell/protection
tube from the extensive WIKA thermowell/protection tube portfolio.
→ For further information on the wake frequency calculation of the thermowell/protec-
tion tube, see technical information IN 00.15.
