Common use of Temperature Sensors Clause in Contracts

Temperature Sensors. a) Platinum 100 ohm resistance thermal detectors (RTD sensors) are to be installed in the lower one third part of the tank. For batch systems, the requirement is at least two sensors per tank. b) The hot water tank must be designed to accommodate the temporary placement of numerous portable sensors or probes to be used during the testing procedure required for certification or re- certification. During this procedure, the portable sensors will be positioned and evenly spaced throughout the load of mangoes, at the direction of the APHIS Inspector who conducts the performance test. Each facility is recommended to have available, 24 portable termistor or thermocouple sensors, 12 per tank (each with its own flexible cord at least 10 ft. in length) and a hand- held digital and portable monitor to measure pulp and water temperatures which reads to the nearest one tenth of a degree. c) Each treatment facility is required to have at least one high-accuracy, water-immersible and certified thermometer, either mercury stick, non-mercury or, digital, and available on the premises at all times. It will be used as the standard against which all sensors are calibrated. The certification should be valid. This thermometer shall be accurate to 0.1 degree F (or ºC), and will cover the range between 113ºF and 118ºF (45 con el propósito de asegurar una temperatura uniforme del agua durante todo el proceso de tratamiento. La fruta debe mantenerse al menos a 4 pulgadas (10.2 cm.) bajo la superficie del agua durante el tratamiento, utilizando una ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ de flotación.
