Subsea Temperature Sensors

A compact immersion temperature sensor for subsea equipment, cooling circuits and the surrounding water. A platinum sensing element sits inside a slender metal probe, with a Micro circular subsea connector mounted directly on the rear of the housing.

Custom mounting, materials and supporting cable assemblies.

OUTPUT SELECTION

One sensing platform. Three ways to connect.

Choose the output around the equipment receiving the signal. The probe measures local temperature; its mounting, immersion and water flow determine how closely that represents the temperature you need.

DL-T-R

Passive Pt100

For an existing RTD input

Four-wire resistance measurement. No transmitter supply. Best when the controller already accepts Pt100 and the complete cable is wired for four-wire sensing.

DL-T-A

4–20 mA transmitter

For a PLC or subsea input module

Two-wire, loop-powered temperature signal. Factory-scaled measurement span. A practical starting point for controls and longer cable assemblies.

DL-T-D

RS-485 digital

For vehicle electronics and logging

Powered digital temperature output for vehicle electronics and logging. Confirm the protocol, register map and update rate with your control system.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE

From the sensing point to your controls.

01

Water → probe

Heat transfers through the closed metal probe to the platinum element.

02

Probe → measurement

The element’s resistance changes with temperature; a suitable input or internal transmitter converts it.

03

Measurement → control

The rear Micro connector carries the RTD wiring, current loop or digital signal to the control system.

Where to use it.

Subsea cooling

Measure inlet and return water temperatures to track cooling performance. Use matched, calibrated sensors when temperature difference matters.

ROVs & subsea skids

Feed water or equipment-fluid temperature into local electronics through a removable subsea cable assembly.

Immersed mechanisms

Monitor surrounding water near submerged lifts, gates and actuators. Mount clear of heat sources unless their temperature is the intended measurement.

Your questions answered.

Does it measure water or the equipment?

An immersion probe measures its own local temperature. In water, it should track the surrounding fluid once stabilised. Surface or internal-equipment measurements require a different mounting arrangement.

Why choose 4–20 mA rather than passive Pt100?

A current-loop transmitter connects directly to common analogue inputs. Passive Pt100 is appropriate when a suitable RTD input is already available. Four-wire connection compensates for lead resistance but does not remove every installation error.

Can it measure hotter process fluids?

A higher-temperature sensing element does not automatically give the complete subsea assembly the same temperature rating. Hotter fluids would need a separate probe, thermal-isolation and connector review.
