Omega HANI™ clamp-on temperature sensors now available for sale at element14

Omega Engineering's award-winning clamp-on temperature sensor is the first of its kind to non-invasively

Sensor for high-precision measurement of liquid temperature in pipes

Shanghai, China, March 10, 2022 – Farnell element14, an Avnet-owned global distributor of electronic components products and solutions, is now stocking Omega Engineering’s new HANI™ clamp-on temperature sensor, which can measure temperature non-invasively.

The HANI™ clamp-on temperature sensor is a unique feature that allows users to measure the temperature of fluids in pipes without installing invasive sensors. It can provide high-precision temperature measurement of sanitary fluids and industrial processes, and is an ideal solution for food and beverage, personal care, chemical production and pharmaceutical applications. It is now available from element14.

HANI™ Clamp-On Temperature Sensor Award-winning, it installs in seconds on metal pipes from 1 to 4 inches in diameter. It also combines multiple temperature and heat flux sensors with proprietary algorithms to provide fast measurement capabilities, reduce downtime and lower installation costs. With a response time of 5 seconds (t63) and 10 seconds (t90), the HANI™ Clamp-On Temperature Sensor can achieve high-precision measurements of fluids in metal pipes, including: ±0.5°C in sanitary applications and ±0.5 to ±1.0°C in industrial installations.

In addition, the HANI series sensors are also compatible with the Layer N interface and can be seamlessly integrated into the Omega smart industrial monitoring ecosystem. Its output current is 4 to 20 mA and can be connected to any standard output device via an M12 cable.

“Omega Engineering is a global leader in the development of innovative industrial control and measurement products and its HANI™ clamp-on temperature sensors are the best in class. We are very excited to bring the full range of Omega’s advanced technology products to our customers,” said Mike King, Head of Global Product Group (Sensors) at Farnell and element14. “The HANI range of sensors is a unique solution. It can be installed in seconds like a surface sensor, but the performance is comparable to that of an invasive sensor. Not only does it allow users to not worry about immersion depth, material compatibility, corrosion or contamination risks, it can also further reduce costs and maximize uptime when measuring fluids used in critical processes.”

“HANI™ temperature sensors install as easily as surface sensors, but provide the same performance as invasive sensors,” said Ahmar Bajwa, Director of Temperature Product Management at Omega Engineering. “Invasive pipe sensors are expensive and time consuming to install or relocate, but the HANI series of sensors gives customers the best of both worlds without having to worry about immersion depth, material compatibility, corrosion or contamination risks, and without compromising performance.”

Omega Engineering is a well-known innovative solutions manufacturer under the Spectris Group, providing more than 100,000 cutting-edge products for measuring and monitoring temperature, humidity, pressure, strain, flow, level, pH and conductivity. Omega also provides customers with a complete range of data acquisition, electrical heating and customized products.

Omega Engineering’s HANI™ clamp-on temperature sensors are available now from Farnell (EMEA), element14 (APAC) and Newark (North America) for immediate delivery.
