OMEGA Engineering is announcing the launch of the latest version of its HANI Clamp-On Temperature Sensor: the HANI Clamp Sensor designed specifically for plastic pipe applications.
Previously available only for metal pipe applications, this newest version of the HANI Sensor is the only industrial-grade, high-accuracy, non-invasive temperature sensor on the market today for plastic pipe applications.
Award-winning HANI Sensors precisely measure the temperature of media inside a pipe in seconds without ever breaching the pipe. This means no drilling, no cutting, no epoxies, and, most importantly, no downtime. And, because HANI Sensors never come into contact with the process media, there is no risk of contamination or drift associated with sensor buildup, wear, breakage, corrosion, or damage from wake frequencies or water hammer.
Already making waves for innovation, HANI Sensor expansion to plastic pipe applications marks further advancement of this patent-pending breakthrough technology.
“Plastic pipes have a very low thermal conductivity, so it is very difficult to try and read temperature through them,” says Ken Leibig, Director of Engineering at OMEGA. “With the proprietary algorithm we’ve developed, HANI sensors do what few even thought was possible: they install with the ease of a surface sensor while offering the high accuracy and high performance of a traditional immersion sensor. And now, with our newest model, the HANI is becoming even more universal in its application – not to mention the fact that it is the only non-invasive sensor on the market capable of measuring temperature of media moving through a plastic pipe.”
