Designed to deliver accurate and reliable temperature measurements
We've been manufacturing high-quality temperature probes and sensors in the UK since 1980. Our products are designed to deliver accurate and reliable temperature measurements, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. All of our temperature sensors and probes conform to IEC codes and our Quality Management System is accredited to BS EN 9001:2015 by National Quality Audits.
As a manufacturer of temperature probes for OEM applications, we offer a variety of temperature probes and sensors, including:
Thermocouples - These probes are suitable for high-temperature applications and can measure temperatures up to 1700°C. We offer a range of thermocouple types, including Types K, J, T, and N. Thermocouples consist of two dissimilar metals that produce a thermovoltage, making them ideal for measuring a wide temperature range from -200 to 1750°C. While they are relatively low cost, their accuracy ranges from 0.5 to 5.0°C, and they may experience variability in long-term stability due to aging.
RTDs - Our RTD probes are ideal for applications that require high accuracy and stability. They can measure temperatures up to 600°C and are available in a range of resistance values and configurations. Platinum resistance thermometers, or RTDs, offer excellent long-term stability and are fairly linear, with typical accuracy between 0.1 to 1.0°C. They require a constant current for excitation and are less prone to electrical interference, making them highly reliable for precise measurements within the -200 to 650°C range.
Thermistors - These probes are suitable for a wide range of applications and offer high accuracy and stability. They are available in a range of resistance values and configurations. Thermistors are typically made of ceramic metal oxides and exhibit exponential resistance changes with temperature. They provide an accuracy of 0.1 to 1.5°C and fast thermal response times, usually between 0.05 to 2.5 seconds. Operating within a narrower temperature range of -100 to 300°C, thermistors are inexpensive to moderate in cost and are not susceptible to electrical pick-up, making them suitable for many applications.
