Happy World Metrology Day!

Today May 20, 2020 is World Metrology Day. It commemorates the day of the signing of the Metre Convention in 1875 which marked the inception of international metrological collaboration. We use today as time to remember why metrology is so vastly important to the world. Without metrology and an organized global measurement system, the modern world as we know it would not exist. From planes and cars to sensors and just about anything that would require measurement, we would be amiss to not recognize the importance of such work and its impact on our day to day lives.

TE Wire & Cable prides itself on making quality high temperature products, meeting industry demand for innovative autoclave thermocouple solutions. Our AccuClave product line, which has been a staple for composite manufacturers worldwide, has just gotten a bit bigger! At this year's SAMPE 2019 trade show we are introducing our new PEEKSense™ autoclave thermocouple for PEEK, PEKK, and PAEK thermoplastic composites curing. We are seeing more and more customers curing with these newer materials at higher temperatures to develop lighter parts that perform well in tough environments. 

 

Information on PEEKSense™:

• Conforms to Special Limits ASTM E230/E230M,
Class I IEC 60584, and BAC 5621
• J calibration ±1.1°C (2.0°F) or ±0.4%
• Gauge size 24 awg
• Available in lengths 3-100FT
• Traceability code (TRAC) permanently laser
etched on connector
• High tensile strength
• Superior chemical resistance
• Strong abrasion resistance
