Temperature sensors are crucial in the aerospace industry, ensuring the safe operation of aircraft control systems by monitoring & reporting critical temperature changes in real-time. A temperature sensor measures the degree of heat in fuel, hydraulic oils, and coolants. The two most common temperature sensors are RTD’s and thermocouples.

RTD elements most commonly used are platinum, either wire wound or thin film. RTD’s are highly accurate, thin film typically used for air temperature. Thermocouples respond to information quickly, and they can withstand extreme high-heat environments. This makes thermocouples well-suited to the task of alerting the pilot or system if the engine is at risk of overheating.The temperature sensor is designed to meet MIL-STD-810 / DO-160 standards.
