ABB SensyTemp TSH220 Overview

The ABB SensyTemp TSH220 is a high-temperature straight thermocouple designed for applications where conventional metal thermowells are not suitable for the required temperature range.

The TSH220 uses a ceramic thermowell and can be configured with different ceramic materials, thermocouple types, dimensions, connection arrangements and process fittings. ABB documentation lists TSH220 as a high-temperature sensor with a maximum application temperature of up to 1800 °C. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The long-form ordering code provided for this product specifies a particular combination of these configuration options rather than representing a generic TSH220 model.

High-Temperature Measurement

The main purpose of ABB TSH220 is temperature measurement in high-temperature industrial processes.

The ceramic construction allows the sensor to operate in applications where the measuring point can reach temperatures significantly above the operating range of many conventional metal-sheathed temperature sensors.

ABB specifies the TSH220 for temperatures up to 1800 °C (3272 °F), making it suitable for demanding thermal processes. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Ceramic Thermowell

The A4 configuration identifies the TSH220 as a design with a ceramic thermowell and ceramic inner tube in the Form AKK arrangement according to EN 50446.

This configuration provides additional ceramic protection around the thermocouple and is intended for demanding high-temperature measurement environments. ABB’s technical documentation identifies A4 as the ceramic thermowell with ceramic inner tube configuration. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

C610 Ceramic Material

The C61 configuration specifies a thermowell material combination of Ceramic C610 / Ceramic C610.

This means both the external thermowell and the inner tube use C610 ceramic according to the ABB configuration table. C610 is one of the ceramic material combinations offered for the TSH220 high-temperature sensor. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

The ceramic material selection is particularly important for high-temperature applications because the protective construction must withstand the thermal environment surrounding the measuring point.

24 × 2.5 mm Thermowell Diameter

The C6 configuration identifies a thermowell diameter of approximately 24 × 2.5 mm.

ABB’s TSH220 ordering information lists 24 × 2.5 mm as one of the available ceramic thermowell dimensions. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

The thermowell dimensions are important when checking mechanical compatibility, insertion requirements and the available space around the temperature measurement point.

Type R Thermocouple

The R1 configuration identifies a single Type R thermocouple.

Type R thermocouples use platinum-rhodium and platinum elements and are intended for high-temperature measurement. ABB lists Type R among the available TSH220 thermocouple types, together with Type K, J, N, S and B configurations. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

The selection of Type R is particularly relevant for high-temperature industrial processes where the required measurement range and thermocouple characteristics match the application.

Class 2 Accuracy

The T2 configuration identifies Class 2 accuracy according to IEC 60584.

ABB provides several accuracy selections for the TSH220 thermocouple, including Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 configurations. The specific ordering code uses T2 for Class 2 accuracy. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Welded 2-Inch 150 lb RF Flange

The F57 configuration specifies a welded 2-inch 150 lb flange with RF form according to ASME B16.5.

ABB’s TSH220 ordering table identifies F57 as a welded 2-inch 150 lb flange, RF form according to ASME B16.5, using AISI 316Ti stainless steel material. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

The process connection is an important part of the complete sensor configuration because it determines how the thermocouple is mechanically installed at the process measurement location.

AISI 316Ti Flange Material

The F57 flange configuration is associated with AISI 316Ti stainless steel, material designation 1.4571.

This material is widely used for industrial process components where corrosion resistance and mechanical durability are important considerations.

Heat-Resistant Components

The H3 configuration in the TSH220 ordering structure identifies heat-resistant steel 1.4841, corresponding to AISI 314 / AISI 310 stainless steel, for the specified holder-tube component.

This material selection is appropriate for high-temperature sensor construction where the supporting components are exposed to elevated temperatures. ABB’s ordering documentation identifies H3 as heat-resistant steel 1.4841. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

Customer-Specific Configuration

The long configuration includes several Z9 entries. In ABB’s ordering structure, Z9 is used for a customer-specific specification in the corresponding configuration position.

Therefore, the complete product code should be retained when identifying this particular sensor. A generic TSH220 description does not contain enough information to reproduce every mechanical and electrical configuration represented by the full ordering code.

High-Temperature Ceramic Protection

The combination of ceramic thermowell, ceramic inner tube and C610 material gives this particular TSH220 configuration a construction intended for severe thermal environments.

The protective assembly separates the thermocouple from the direct process environment while allowing thermal energy to reach the sensing element.

This construction is especially relevant in furnaces, kilns, combustion systems and other processes where high temperatures and aggressive operating conditions require specialized temperature sensors.
