With the pipe-mounted probe, unlike with the threaded thermometer, the pipe does not need to be opened. The flat shape of the temperature probe's measuring point enables it to be used, and easily mounted, in confined spaces. The strap-on temperature sensors can be mounted without tools using quick-mounting brackets, which are available for pipe diameters between 12 and 42 millimetres. In the case of resistance thermometers, the Pt100 strap-on temperature sensors and Pt1000 strap-on probes can thus be easily attached to the surface of the pipe.
