Vibrating Wire Temperature Sensor
Temperature sensors are used to establish a temperature relationship between structural changes and measurement result. The Vibrating Wire Temperature Sensor comprises a stainless steel body which houses a vibrating wire sensing unit. The sensing unit incorporates a stainless steel mounting body for the carbon steel vibrating wire and coil assembly.
The vibrating wire tension changes with temperature due to the difference in coefficients of expansion of the two materials.
Typical areas of application include the monitoring of:
- Curing temperatures in concrete
- Water temperatures at dams and arch dams
- Air temperatures in machine or transformer halls and cavities
- Ground temperatures in freezing excavations

- Accurate, robust, high resolution and good long term stability
- Readings unaffected by cable length
- Capable of withstanding thermal shocks without impairing performance
- Outer body manufactured from 316 stainless steel
- Over voltage surge arrestors fitted to protect against electrical damage
- Connecting cable is strong, screened and flexible and can be used in lengths in excess of 1000m
- Suitable for remote reading, scanning and data logging
- Thermal mass requires approximately 10 minutes to achieve steady state reading
- Upper temperature limit determined by cable, lower limit by internal potting
