Thermocouples

Thermocouples are essential temperature measurement devices used across various industries. In the industrial sector, they are widely used to monitor high-temperature processes, such as those involved in metal manufacturing. In the rail industry, thermocouples are commonly used for hot axle box detection, a safety device that detects overheating in the axle boxes of train wheels. Additionally, thermocouples are critical components in the aerospace industry to measure the temperature of rocket engines, turbines, and other components. They are also used to monitor the temperature of aircraft engines and to measure the temperature inside the cockpit and cabin. The choice of the device depends on the specific requirements of the application, such as temperature range, accuracy, response time, and cost.

Thermistors

Thermistors are versatile sensors used across a range of industries and applications. In the railway industry, thermistors are commonly used for hot axle box detection, a vital safety feature that monitors the temperature of train wheels. In medical equipment, thermistors play a crucial role in temperature probes, patient monitors, and thermal printers, ensuring accuracy and precision. The automotive industry also relies on thermistors to measure engine coolant, air intake, and exhaust gases, as well as controlling climate systems. And in consumer electronics, thermistors help prevent overheating in devices such as laptops, smartphones, and digital cameras.
