Oil, Gas & Refining

Oil, Gas & Refining Temperature Sensors

Oil, gas, and refining temperature points often combine harsh media, vibration, pressure, hazardous-area requirements, and long service intervals. Thermometrics supports upstream, midstream, refining, terminal, and plant utility applications with sensor packages built around process safety, maintainability, and service life.

Refinery Process Lines

Pressure-rated measurement points for process piping, vessels, and terminal assets

Flanged assemblies, thermowell-mounted RTDs, and high-pressure builds are installed on refinery and terminal piping where rugged process interfaces, maintainability, and service life are central concerns.

Common Applications

  • Refining process control, heaters, and safety interlocks
  • Pipeline, compressor station, and terminal monitoring
  • Wellhead, separator, and upstream production equipment
  • Storage, transfer, and utility systems in harsh process environments

Sensor Solutions

  • Stainless, Inconel, and specialty-alloy sheaths for corrosive or high-temperature service
  • High-pressure thermowells, fittings, and process connections
  • Grounded and ungrounded thermocouple configurations selected for the circuit and process
  • Custom lengths, lead protection, and mounting hardware for plant fit-up requirements

Quality & Compliance

Hazardous-area projects may call for ATEX, IECEx, UKEX, NRTL, or CSA-related requirements depending on market and installation classification, along with traceable materials, pressure-boundary documentation, and controlled build records.

Pressure & Corrosion

Assemblies selected for harsh media and demanding process conditions.

Hazardous Areas

Sensor packages aligned to the site and market certification path.

Plant Fit-Up

Custom lengths, fittings, and thermowells for existing hardware.

Program Considerations

  • The process media, pressure class, and maintenance strategy usually drive the assembly design.
  • Hazardous-area requirements may affect head choice, hardware, and documentation expectations.
  • Thermowells and robust process connections are common where uptime and safety are central concerns.
