High temperature Capacitive Sensors TURBOCOAX

The TURBOCOAX capacitive sensors were developed to measure the clearance between the tip of the turbine blades and the casing of turbo engines.

  • Non-contact blade tip clearance measurement
  • No cooling system required
  • Small dimensions
  • Withstand temperatures up to 1,300°C (2,400°F
  • Other applications:
  • speed and/or counting measurements,
  • level or thickness, vibrations
  • NEGACOAX® overheating and fire detectors

    The linear sensors NEGACOAX, to detect overheating and fires, are all constructed employing the mineral insulated cable technology.

    Applications:

    Chemical and petrochemical industries
  • temperature control and survey of processes

  • Aerospace industries
  • jet engine and structure

  • Space industries
  • rocket thrust, detection of leaking hot gas

  • and any other industry where the safety aspect is a key factor.

    Traffic control with VIBRACOAX® Weigh-In Motion sensors

    When used with appropriate instrumentation, VIBRACOAX can provide a wide range of information including:

  • Weigh-in-Motion(WIM)
  • Vehicle classification
  • Axle counting and distances between axles
  • Gross vehicule and load distribution
  • Speed measurement
  • Traffic volume
  • THERMOCOAX manufactures the VIBRACOAX piezoelectric axle sensor since the mid 1970s. The sensor is used in data collection applications. The sensor is highly accurate and reliable with tremendous longevity and generally outlives the pavement in which it is installed.

    NEUTROCOAX® neutron detectors by SPND

    The NEUTROCOAX SPND is a neutron absorber material called emitter, insulated from the sheath or collector by alumina or magnesia insulator in a coaxial geometry.

    The SPND is connected to an amplifier by a single lead or twin lead THERMOCOAX coaxial cable capable of correcting the spurious current due to the irradiation of the cable.

    The THERMOCOAX SPND can be used in all types of reactors for in-core measurement of thermal neutron flux for:

  • good knowledge of the neutron flux distribution
  • monitoring the energy conversion in the reactors
  • a better control of the safety criteria.
  • Applications:

  • accurate monitoring of thermal neutron flux,
  • in irradiation experiments or instrumentation
