Widely used in the aerospace industry for dynamic testing of composite structures, the innovative Aerograde cement-on thermocouple from TC is a lightweight surface temperature sensor, ideally suited to any application where an extremely fast response to changes in temperature is required.
A class 1 thermocouple is embedded between two paper thin, glass reinforced, polymer laminates which are then kiln fired to make a sensor measuring just 12 x 20 x 0.013mm. The Aerograde sensor provides millisecond responses and high dielectric strength combined with a very low thermal mass and physical profile.
