This CAD detail helps you place a wireless temperature transmitter (TT) on existing piping using a pipe clamp-type temperature sensor (TE)—useful when you need temperature monitoring without welding, hot work, or thermowell penetration.
What’s included in this drawing
-
Wireless Temperature Transmitter (TT) mounted to the sensor assembly
-
Sensor with spring-loaded adapter (TE) for improved surface contact
-
Pipe clamp + bolt/nut hardware for fastening to the pipe
-
Optional corrosion-protection inlay between clamp and pipe
-
Nipple/union extension (typical field installation arrangement)
-
Installation layouts for:
-
Vertical installation
-
Horizontal installation (with full-pipe flow and partial-pipe flow cases shown)
-
When to use a clamp-on TT detail
-
Retrofit projects where you want fast installation and minimal shutdown time
-
Utility piping where a trend / monitoring temperature point is acceptable
-
Locations where cutting the line or adding a thermowell is not allowed
Drafting tips for your drawings
-
Tag clearly on P&ID / instrument list: TE (sensor element) and TT (transmitter)
-
Add a note for surface preparation (clean metal contact area) if your spec requires it
-
If used outdoors, consider showing insulation/weatherproofing around the clamp area (project-dependent)
