SITRANS TS500

SITRANS TS500 temperature sensors offer modular design, flexible outputs, a wide measuring range and explosion protection for reliable industrial monitoring.

Rugged field-mounted temperature transmitters for reliable, accurate measurement, high availability and plant safety, helping avoid downtime in SIL 2/3 applications.

Head-mount temperature transmitters for reliable measurement, easy integration and advanced diagnostics, from standard to high-availability applications.

Rail-mounted temperature transmitters for accurate measurement, easy panel integration and smart diagnostics, from standard loops to high-availability applications.

With a wide range of standard components, this sensor easily adapts to your specific needs. It seamlessly integrates into existing systems using various process connections, thermowell forms and connection heads. Comprehensive global approvals, including marine and explosion protection certifications, help ensure safe and reliable operation across diverse industrial sectors worldwide.

Choose from a vast selection of connection heads, sensors (Pt100, Type K, J, N) and wetted materials like 316L. This modularity means you get the exact configuration required for your unique process conditions.

Operate confidently in hazardous locations. Backed by global certifications, including intrinsically safe and flameproof approvals (ATEX, IECEx, cCSAus), this sensor meets the highest international safety standards.

Robust thermowells and rugged housings protect the sensor for long-term stability. The measuring insert is exchangeable during operation, allowing maintenance without interrupting your process.

General purpose (CSA); for use in hazardous locations ATEX, IECEx, cCSAus, NEPSI/CCC, EAC; for use in marine applications DNV and EURO; for use in safety applications and electrical equipment for furnace and ancillary equipment (EN50156-2) by SIL 2/3 certification

Equip your sensor with optional SITRANS TH transmitters and local indicators for easy on-site monitoring and seamless control system communication in both safe and hazardous environments.

Simplify installation with a wide variety of standard process connections (G1/2″, NPT1/2″, M20x1.5), multiple thermowell forms (2-9mm, 2-12mm, 2G) and customizable installation lengths.

Achieve precise process control with accuracy classes tailored to your needs. Factory calibration and comprehensive material certificates support reliable, traceable performance.

SIL2/3 certification and broad Ex approvals make the sensor suitable for safety‑critical applications and extreme environments, helping to improve plant safety.

Supports remote configuration, maintenance and SIL validation from the control room, reducing hazardous area exposure. Access to status, diagnostics and measurement data simplifies operation and minimizes costly field visits.

Chemical recycling tackles the scrap plastic challenges: Engineers from Eurex Oil and Chemosvit Strojchem in Slovakia teamed with Siemens to develop a best-in-class recycling process for environmental friendliness and efficiency.

Yes. Thanks to the SITRANS TS500’s modular design and the use of a robust thermowell, the internal measuring insert (SITRANS TSinsert) can be easily exchanged, serviced or calibrated during operation. There is no need to shut down the process or drain the system, significantly minimizing downtime.

The SITRANS TS500 is highly adaptable to your monitoring needs. It can be equipped with optional built-in SITRANS TH head-mounted transmitters to seamlessly communicate with your control system. Additionally, you can choose from various connection heads (aluminum, stainless steel or plastic) that include optional local displays, allowing for convenient, at-a-glance temperature monitoring directly in the field.

The Siemens Siemens Product Configurator allows you to easily select your temperature sensor and thermowell together. The system configurator checks in the background if your selection match with each other. Finally, you can order both products together and both are bounded by a unique system ID via our option code Y92.

Siemens provides an easy-to-use Thermowell Stress Calculator to calculate your selected thermowell in relation to your real process conditions to identify risks by tearing off the thermowell.
