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 Factor | RTD Temperature Sensor | Thermocouple Temperature Sensor |
|---|
| Measurement Principle | Electrical resistance changes with temperature | Two dissimilar metals generate a temperature-dependent voltage |
| Typical Strength | Accuracy, repeatability and stability | Wide temperature range and suitable high-temperature configurations |
| Common Applications | Process tanks, machinery, water systems | Furnaces, heating equipment, high-temperature processes |
| Common Types | Pt100 | K, J, E, S, R, B and other types |
| Selection Considerations | Temperature range, wiring, accuracy | Thermocouple 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.

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.
