Have Question? We are here to help
What is a thermocouple?
A thermocouple is a temperature sensor made from two dissimilar metal wires joined together. It measures temperature by generating a voltage that corresponds to changes in heat, making it one of the most widely used sensors for industrial, laboratory, and environmental testing applications.
What wire gauges are available?
AES manufactures thermocouples in gauges 40 AWG and larger, covering the vast majority of laboratory, environmental testing, and industrial applications.
What thermocouple types does AES manufacture?
AES manufactures custom Type K, Type T, and Type J thermocouples for environmental chambers, laboratories, research facilities, and industrial testing applications.
Why choose a custom thermocouple instead of a standard one?
Custom thermocouples are designed specifically for your equipment and application, providing a better fit, simplified installation, and reliable temperature measurements. Custom manufacturing also eliminates the need to compromise on wire length, connector style, or other critical specifications.
