Now that we've got your attention, there is no denying it: Some amazing things are being done with composite materials outside of the aerospace sector. Case in point, check out this amazing video introducing LaFerrari.
Where production volumes allow for it, numerous composites manufacturers are utilizing autoclave thermocouple assemblies rather than custom building their own autoclave wire. Applications in high-performance automotive, racing, as well as marine and yatch buidling are utilizing autoclave thermocouple assemblies due to their accuracy, reliability and ability to reduce downtime. And then there's the sleek new designs being used in Formula 1, which we'll discuss in Part 2.
To learn more about the potential savings associated with the use of autoclave thermocouple assemblies and extension cables read "How to Reduce Aerospace Autoclave Applications Setup Time by 90%". Your application might qualify, even if your sexy beasts are bound gravitationally to the ol' terra firma be it land or sea.
