Sensors

This is not an exhaustive list of the products that we supply, but a few examples that we feel demonstrate the innovation and cutting-edge technology we use to design a bespoke solution that will best suit your needs.

 

Thermocouple Assemblies

The Fan Type thermocouple delivers superb accuracy and performance whilst ensuring World-class safety assurance. The optimum size for attachment to pipes, the Fan Type is the thermocouple of choice for organisations across the globe. Benefiting from its unique design, it also delivers a reduction of process variability and over four years’ working life potential.
Simple to install, there’s no need for costly installation engineers. We’ve introduced a simple installation guide which means that you can benefit from our stress-free solution, quickly and effectively. If you’d prefer us to install your thermocouple, we’ll be happy to do so and provide any support that you need.
Benefiting from a unique fan head design, this means that the Fan Type welds better to the tube plus its expansion coil enables any tube movement throughout the process. And installing the Fan Type means that you can avoid shutdowns and maximise the life of the tube.

OMC’s Range of Platinum Resistance Thermometers are approved by the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), as Qualified Parts for Aerospace Development.
OMC’s sensors are designed and manufactured to operate over the extreme temperature range of -260℃ to +930℃. These sensors offer excellent performance across this wide temperature range giving High Accuracy with fast Thermal Response, with no effect from High Vibration, Mechanical shock and adverse radiation levels.
These qualities have been proven by Okazaki’s sensors passing over 30 test conditions set by JAXA which are required before items are used in a live launch condition.
Okazaki sensors are also used on various aircraft and again have met the stringent criteria and conditions set by the Japanese Ministry of Defence. Okazaki’s sensors again offer outstanding performance with High accuracy and no effect from the adverse vibration conditions.
After extensive R&D and independent evaluation, we have developed a unique design of thermowell, the VortexWell®, which doesn’t require a velocity collar and is cost-effective for the end user in terms of purchase, installation and maintenance costs.
VortexWell® incorporates an innovative helical strake design, very similar to the helical strakes seen on columns and cooling towers. By using the latest CFD software to visualise the flow behaviour, we were able to accurately compare a standard tapered thermowell and its new VortexWell®. In the tests, the standard tapered thermowell showed classic shedding behaviour as expected, whereas the VortexWell® demonstrated no signs of regular flow behaviour. The VortexWell® helical strake design disturbed the flow sufficiently to interrupt the regular formation of vortices. Whilst a small vortex was observed in the wake of the VortexWell® this was a localised stagnation point and didn’t shed.
