Case Study: Custom Duplex RTD Pt100 Temperature Sensor Solution.
Posted on 02-09-2024
This case study highlights how we successfully delivered a custom Duplex RTD Pt100 temperature sensor solution for a client in the British defence manufacturing industry.
The main challenge was to design a RTD temperature sensor that could house two separate sensors within one assembly while ensuring optimal performance and ease of installation. Finding the best way to terminate two sensors, without compromising on accuracy or ease of use and installation, was crucial.

Designed and manufactured in Sheffield
Posted on 19-07-2024
This Type T Thermocouple was a bit of an unusual request as the sensing point is 20mm from the tip and has a phono plug to integrate into the customer R&D project.
After discussions between the customer, technical sales, and our production manager, we designed and manufactured a prototype to meet the customers specifications.
Which we are pleased to say is now in full production.

Products by Application – Surface Temperature Sensors
Posted on 01-07-2024
Surface temperature sensors measure the temperature of an object's surface. They can be contact types like thermocouples, RTDs, and thermistors, or non-contact types like infrared thermometers and thermal cameras. Contact sensors need to touch the surface to measure temperature, while non-contact sensors detect infrared radiation from the surface.
These sensors are used in many fields, such as manufacturing to control processes, medicine for patient monitoring, and environmental science to study weather. Their ability to provide accurate temperature readings makes them essential tools in various applications.
