Industrial Temperature Transmitters and Sensors

GALLOP provides industrial temperature transmitters and temperature sensors for monitoring liquids, gases, steam, and industrial equipment. Our temperature measurement products include RTD and thermocouple sensing solutions as well as transmitter configurations that convert temperature signals into standard industrial outputs.

Designed for process measurement and automation applications, GALLOP temperature instruments support temperature monitoring in chemical processing, industrial machinery, water treatment, energy systems, and other production environments.

With configurable sensor types, electrical outputs, installation methods, and mechanical components, GALLOP helps customers select suitable temperature measurement equipment for their projects.


Industrial Temperature Measurement Products

Temperature measurement systems typically consist of a sensing element, signal conversion electronics where required, and an appropriate mechanical installation assembly.

GALLOP offers temperature transmitters and temperature sensors for different parts of this measurement process.

Industrial Temperature Transmitters

An industrial temperature transmitter converts electrical signals from a resistance temperature detector (RTD) or thermocouple into a standardized signal for an industrial controller or monitoring system.

GALLOP's GLP-RWB temperature transmitter product range includes 4–20 mA and voltage output configurations, with communication options depending on the model.

Temperature transmitters help connect field temperature sensing elements to PLCs, monitoring equipment, and process automation systems.

RTD and Thermocouple Temperature Sensors

Temperature sensors detect changes in the temperature of process media or equipment.

GALLOP provides RTD and thermocouple sensing options, including Pt100 RTD and multiple thermocouple transmitter types, for industrial temperature measurement.

Sensor selection depends on the required temperature range, response characteristics, process conditions, and mechanical installation method.

RTD vs. Thermocouple: Which Temperature Sensor Should You Choose?

RTDs and thermocouples are widely used in industrial temperature measurement, but they operate according to different physical principles.

Selection FactorRTD Temperature SensorThermocouple Temperature Sensor
Measurement PrincipleElectrical resistance changes with temperatureTwo dissimilar metals generate a temperature-dependent voltage
Typical StrengthAccuracy, repeatability and stabilityWide temperature range and suitable high-temperature configurations
Common ApplicationsProcess tanks, machinery, water systemsFurnaces, heating equipment, high-temperature processes
Common TypesPt100K, J, E, S, R, B and other types
Selection ConsiderationsTemperature range, wiring, accuracyThermocouple type, compensation and operating range

For many moderate-temperature industrial applications, Pt100 RTD sensors are a practical option where repeatable measurements are important.

For higher-temperature processes, suitable thermocouple types may provide the required measuring capability.

The correct sensor should always be selected according to the actual temperature range and required protection.


How to Select an Industrial Temperature Transmitter

1. Identify the Sensor Input Type

Determine whether your installation uses an RTD or a thermocouple.

The transmitter must be compatible with the selected sensor and its wiring configuration.

For RTD measurements, the number of sensor wires can influence resistance compensation and measurement accuracy.

For thermocouples, correct sensor type selection and reference-junction compensation are important.

2. Choose the Required Output Signal

A 4-20mA temperature transmitter converts temperature information into an analog current signal suitable for compatible industrial control systems.

GALLOP also offers product configurations with voltage outputs and selected digital communication interfaces.

The output type should match the receiving equipment, power supply, and installation requirements.

3. Determine the Operating Temperature Range

The required range should reflect the actual measured process temperature.

The temperature limitations of the sensing element, transmitter electronics, protective sheath, and installation components must be considered separately.

Where the sensing point is exposed to high temperatures, the transmitter electronics may need to be positioned away from the hottest area.

4. Select the Installation and Protection Requirements

Temperature measurement devices can require threaded, flanged, or insertion-type installation arrangements.

Important considerations include:

  • Sensor insertion length and diameter

  • Process pressure and temperature

  • Sensor sheath and protective materials

  • Installation space

  • Environmental protection requirements

  • Required response time

  • Electrical connection and controller compatibility

GALLOP provides selected sensor material, length, connection, and configuration options for different industrial installations.


Industrial Temperature Transmitter Applications

Chemical Processing

Temperature monitoring is important for process tanks, reactors, material transfer lines, and temperature-controlled chemical operations.

Suitable RTD or thermocouple sensors and transmitters help provide continuous temperature information for process monitoring.

Water and Wastewater Treatment

Temperature measurements support treatment process monitoring, equipment operation, and automated water management systems.

Industrial temperature sensors can be integrated into monitoring equipment to provide process temperature data.

Energy and Steam Systems

Frequently Asked Questions

What does an industrial temperature transmitter do?

An industrial temperature transmitter receives a signal from a temperature sensor and converts it into a standardized electrical output, such as 4–20 mA, for use in industrial control systems.

What is the difference between a temperature sensor and a temperature transmitter?

A temperature sensor detects temperature changes. A temperature transmitter processes the sensor signal and provides a standardized output for monitoring and control. Some complete measurement assemblies combine both functions.

Is a Pt100 sensor the same as a temperature transmitter?

No. Pt100 is an RTD sensing element. A compatible transmitter can be used to convert its resistance-based measurement into an industrial output signal.

Can GALLOP temperature transmitters work with thermocouples?

As a professional temperature transmitter manufacturer, GALLOP offers temperature transmitter configurations designed for thermocouple and RTD inputs. Input compatibility and the required thermocouple type should be confirmed for the selected model.

Can GALLOP customize temperature sensors for OEM equipment?

Yes. GALLOP provides customization support for selected sensor dimensions, materials, connection methods, and measurement configurations according to project requirements.
