Temperature Sensors
Temperature sensors can be split into two major categories: 1-Themocouples, 2- Resistance Thermometers or RTD's as they are commonly known. Pyrosales has divided the types of sensors into General Purpose, which are mainly stand alone elements, and Industrial sensors that have terminal heads and a variety of fittings to allow the sensor to be connected to the process or to a thermowell.

Temperature Instruments
These comprise all the electronic devices that are used to display or control temperature

Accessories
Pyrosales carries a full range of connectors and panel mounts to compliment any installation. We also have a large range of compression fittings for all types of applications

Cables
The thermocouple wire and extension wire provided by Pyrosales is known for its premium performance and reliability. We supply E, J, K, N and T thermocouple wire for virtually all applications, and extension wire to match thermocouple type as well as compensating cables for Type B, C**, R and S thermocouples. Our cables have a wide selection of insulation types to meet a variety of temperature, chemical, moisture and abrasion resistance objectives, with insulation temperatures ranging from -200 to 1205°C(continuous rated). Cables are available as solid conductors or, when greater flexibility is required, in stranded construction.

Ceramics & Special Protection Sheaths
Many processes have process environments that require special materials that will withstand the temperature of the process or its chemical makeup. Pyrosales has had many years of experience in all types of applications that allow us to select the most cost effective option.

Thermal Imaging
With more than 50 years experience in the development and production of infrared cameras, FLIR’s cameras are of the highest quality, yet are easy-to-use and extremely affordable. Pyrosales supplies a range of FLIR handheld cameras for electricians, facility managers, home inspectors, restoration contractors and anyone in the building industry.

Fibre Optic
The use of optical fibres as a temperature sensor is a comparatively new technology although our partners Hitachi Cable have been supplying and installing these systems for over ten years. The systems are sometimes known as distributed temperature sensing systems (DTS) but as the principle of operation is similar to radar technology we use the term Fibre Temperature Laser Radar (FTR). This new sensing technology uses a laser light source to inject a light pulse along as optical fibre. The pulse mostly travels to the end of the fibre and disappears, but a small proportion of the light is reflected back along the fibre. This backscattered signal is collected an analysed within an opto-electronics unit to provide temperature information about the fibre. The essence of the output is a profile of the temperature along the whole length of the fibre, for lengths up to 30 km, and beyond. The whole length of the fibre can be divided into zones which can be as little as 1 metre long with a different temperature readings in each zone. The system can be set up to give a temperature profile of the fibre length or to give alarms if the preset temperature limits are exceeded.

Temperature Gauges
A temperature gauge is a device used to indicate the temperature of an item being monitored. The display can be an analogue dialor a digital readout. The most common is the Bi-metal gauge, but there are liquid and gas filled gauges where speed of respose or extended temperature range is critical.
