Thermocouples for temperature management in space industry
THERMOCOAX is a large thermocouple maker for complex industries such as space.
We develop and provide thermocouples up to 2300°C. For applications up to 1000°C, we provide K and N type, class1, in diameters from 0.25 to 6 mm. For high temperature thermocouples, we provide S, R, B and C type Ø 0.7 mm up to 3 mm.
High thermocouple quality
Their high quality is due to our proprietary mineral-insulated cable being manufactured in-house. We offer 100% of traceability up to the raw material. We provide very complex and strategic systems on satellites or space probes.
