Description
SAAB TANK RADAR
TYPE: 1 x PT100-3W
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
ART NO: P167720-2-256
SS316
The Saab Tank Radar PT100-3W Temperature Sensor (P167720-2-256) is a precision resistance temperature detector designed for integration within Saab Tank Radar cargo and tank management systems. Constructed from SS316 stainless steel, this sensor delivers accurate temperature measurement within vessel tanks, supporting reliable cargo monitoring and operational safety as part of a broader Marine Control System installation. Accurate tank temperature data is critical for cargo planning, load calculations, and compliance with carriage requirements across tanker and bulk carrier operations.
Key Features
✓ PT100 three-wire (3W) resistance temperature detector configuration, providing accurate and stable temperature readings with reduced lead resistance error in long cable runs.
✓ SS316 stainless steel construction, offering corrosion resistance suited to the aggressive chemical and thermal environments found in cargo and ballast tank installations.
✓ Designed for compatibility with Saab Tank Radar systems, subject to confirmation of the specific system model, software version, and interface card configuration in use onboard.
✓ Suitable for installation within cargo tanks, ballast tanks, or service tanks where continuous temperature monitoring is required as part of an integrated tank gauging or cargo management system.
✓ Direct replacement or spare sensor for Saab Tank Radar installations; compatibility with specific system generations and transmitter heads should be confirmed against vessel documentation and nameplate data prior to installation.
Marine Applications
✓ Crude oil and product tankers utilising Saab Tank Radar systems for integrated cargo temperature and level monitoring during loading, discharge, and transit.
✓ Chemical tankers where precise temperature management of cargo is required for product integrity and safety compliance.
✓ LPG and gas carriers employing tank radar instrumentation systems that incorporate temperature sensing as part of multi-parameter tank measurement.
✓ Bulk carriers and offshore vessels with ballast or service tank monitoring systems requiring reliable temperature data for operational management.
✓ Vessel tank management control rooms and integrated cargo computer systems where PT100 sensor inputs feed into display, logging, and alarm functions.
Why Marine Engineers Choose
The SS316 PT100-3W sensor from the Saab Tank Radar platform is a purpose-built component that maintains measurement integrity in demanding marine tank environments. Its three-wire configuration minimises measurement error, and stainless steel construction ensures long service life, making it a practical choice for planned maintenance programmes and emergency replacements alike.
Ideal For
Tankers, chemical carriers, gas carriers, offshore support vessels, and bulk carriers operating Saab Tank Radar cargo or tank management systems requiring temperature sensor maintenance or replacement.
Technical Support & Compliance
Technical assistance is available to support remote troubleshooting, onboard diagnostics, sensor testing, commissioning, and system integration for Saab Tank Radar installations. Retrofit and upgrade support can also be discussed depending on the system configuration, subject to confirmation. To verify compatibility and ensure correct supply, buyers are advised to share nameplate photographs, the full part number (P167720-2-256), system model and software version, relevant technical drawings or wiring diagrams, vessel name, IMO number, and the specific scope of the replacement or maintenance requirement. All compatibility determinations are subject to confirmation based on the documentation provided.
