T-type thermocouples for satellite research and manufacturing
Satellites operate in the vacuum and cold of space, therefore they have to undergo extensive testing here on earth. A few months ago we received a large order for a range of Teflon PFA insulated T-type thermocouples from researchers and manufacturing engineers working on satellites for a large constellation. T-type thermocouples are especially suitable for measuring cold temperatures and are frequently used in cryogenics. And the PFA plastic insulation is very stable at cold temperatures, though

T-type thermocouples for bumblebee research
Recently I was contacted by a professor at a Wisconsin University. He is researching bumblebees and wanted to measure and record the temperature inside their nests. Due to the need for more accurate measurements we settled on T-type thermocouples and to minimize the impact from the insulation we used a teflon PFA insulated wire, which is very inert and will lot leach any chemicals. We made these thermocouples in a range of lengths, up to 5 meter (15 ft) long. Do you have a special measurem
