Thermocouples measure temperature through the voltage generated by two different metals joined at the sensing point, offering wide temperature ranges and fast response. RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) measure temperature by correlating the resistance of a metal element with temperature, providing higher accuracy and stability but at a higher cost and with a more limited temperature range.

The choice depends on your temperature range, environment, and accuracy requirements. Type K is the most common general-purpose thermocouple. Type J is suitable for vacuum or reducing atmospheres. Type T offers high accuracy at low temperatures. For high-temperature applications above 1300°C, consider Types R, S, or B. Contact our engineering team for specific recommendations.

Lead times vary based on complexity and quantity. Standard products typically ship within 1-2 working weeks. We are able to execute custom-engineered solutions quickly, especially if we have the raw material in stock.

Yes, we manufacture and supply explosion-proof temperature sensors, certified to IECEx/ATEX and CSA. Standard and custom constructions are available for your specific application.

Yes, we can provide samples for evaluation on a case-by-case basis. Contact our sales team with your application details and testing requirements.

Accuracy varies by sensor type. Our standard thermocouples meet ANSI Standard and Special Limits accuracy. IEC 60584 Class 1 or 2 tolerances are also available. RTD sensors are available in Class A, Class B, 1/3 DIN, or 1/10 DIN tolerances. Custom tighter tolerances are available upon request.

Proper installation is critical for accurate readings. Ensure good thermal contact between the sensor and the medium being measured. For immersion sensors, the sensing element should be fully immersed in the medium. If you need help or advice, feel free to contact us.

Maximum temperature depends on the sensor type and sheath materials. Standard K-type thermocouples are rated to 1260°C, while Type B thermocouples can measure up to 1820°C. RTDs typically operate up to 600-850°C depending on the sheath material. High-temperature applications may require special construction materials like Inconel, ceramic, etc.

Yes, we provide comprehensive calibration services with our temperature sensors. We can calibrate from -80°C up to 1300°C. We offer both new product calibration and recalibration services for existing sensors.

We offer a full range of testing services including factory acceptance testing, hydrostatic testing, dye-penetration testing, PMI (Positive Material Identification), radiographic testing, ultrasonic testing, and more. All testing is performed per applicable standards such as ASME, ASTM, and industry-specific requirements.
