Conax Technologies' Fiber Optic Temperature Sensor System is designed specifically to replace conventional suppliers of thermocouples in advanced gas turbines. The fiber optic system improves sensor reliability, measurement accuracy and life expectancy in applications subjected to high velocity and high temperature gas flows.

Conax designed the system specifically for manufacturers of power plants challenged to maximize plant profitability. Newer ground-based power turbines achieve improvements in efficiency and power output by increasing turbine inlet temperatures to well above 1000 degrees C for base load operation. At such elevated temperatures and in gas flow velocities of up to Mach 0.9, the Conax Fiber Optic system has been found to be entirely suitable for the measurement of turbine inlet and inter-turbine temperatures.

Conax has an impressive selection of thermocouple and RTD detection in various configurations for gas and steam turbine sensing applications, as well as its line of "soft professional sealant" technology sealing assemblies for bearing sensor wires and probes. Other products include high industrial temperature sensors with electronics, RTD and thermocouple accessories, professional seals, temperature measuring products, thermocouple probes with harnesses and turbine inlet temperature sensors. Every Conax product delivers rugged, reliable service with accurate, precision performance.
