EGT Thermocouple Applications

Thermocouples are used in many different high temperature applications.

  1. Gas Turbine exhaust to determine the proper fuel to air mixture to obtain the best long term performance and efficiencies of operation.
  2. R&D testing of combustion systems in automotive and truck engines
  3. Computerized engine monitoring systems for over the road truck and automotive applications
  4. Furnace temperature control in heat treating of specialty metals and manufactured components for aerospace and commercial products.
  5. Automotive drag racing engine exhaust gas for diagnostics on fuel efficiencies on engine performance.
