So, it will come as no surprise to learn that our TAT sensor research and development programme is not only looking to answer current customer requirements, even recent changes in FAA legislation, but to anticipate the technologies of the future. Consequently, our latest TAT sensors incorporate two defining characteristics – our patented, cutting edge Platinum RTD, with its rather clever monocoq ceramic element mandrel and a unique aerodynamic and thermodynamic monocoq body. This sensor effectively removes the need for any form of electric heating. General Features • Temperature range from -78°C to +150°C • Exceed latest EASA and FAA Regulations • Customised interface (1x100; 2x100; 1x200; 2x200; 1x500; 2x500 Ohms) • Unique ceramic monocoq element mandrel design • Extremely low sensitivity to ice crystal and icing conditions • Our sensors outperform our competitors in independently audited testing Icing Wind Tunnel and “All Ice®”. In our Atmospheric Laboratory at Bourges, France we are constantly perfecting methods of de-icing, utilising our exclusive cloud simulation equipment, which allow us to recreate operational conditions ranging from controlled icing through water droplet spray to ice crystal bombardment of concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 8g/m3 and up to 1mm in particle size, at various speeds and temperatures. Accuracy on these sensors can reach +/-0.3°C Here, our revolutionary alloy was also developed, a revolutionary alloy with extraordinary mechanical and thermal characteristics. Already proving to be of particular advantage for applications in environments where heating has historically been required, it is now challenging conventional thinking on ice accretion. And, in line with Auxitrol Weston’ Corporate Social Responsibility policy, Contains no toxic Be compounds, which is a contributing factor in keeping us ahead of our REACH targets.

Total Air Temperature Sensors (TAT) A Pioneering and Progressive culture Research & Development In a world where Pedigree, is considered more important than invention, it would be too easy to perpetuate Industry norms, by settling for incremental change. But, we work in a world that is rapidly changing, where we, like many of our Customers, are looking beyond the horizon, exploring areas where Sensors and engineering technologies are yet to go. To extend the value of our ongoing generic Research & Development works, across our core product areas of Speed, Torque, Tip Clearance, Mass Flow,...
