In-House Manufacturing
Capabilities

CNC Turning & Milling

In-house CNC lathe and mill capability for thermowell, fitting, connection hardware, and custom adapter machining. Tolerances to ±0.001" on turned diameters. Materials: 316SS, 304SS, carbon steel, brass, Inconel, titanium, Hastelloy, and PTFE.

  • Thermowells to 36" insertion length
  • Custom fittings to print — typically 1–3 day turnaround
  • CMM inspection for FAIR documentation

MIMS Cable Processing

Cut-to-length, form, swage, anneal, and terminate MIMS thermocouple cable from 0.020" to 0.500" OD. All standard sheath materials. Hot-junction formation by TIG and resistance welding. Cold-end stripping and conductor identification per customer specification.

  • Grounded, ungrounded, exposed junctions
  • Hermetic end closures — brazed or welded
  • CNC tube bending for formed geometries

RTD Element Assembly

Wire-wound Pt100 element assembly on ceramic and glass mandrel. Lead attachment by silver soldering and resistance welding. 2-, 3-, and 4-wire configurations. Encapsulation in ceramic cement, glass seal, or PTFE shrink for moisture protection.

  • Class A and Class B elements
  • Matched-resistance extension leads available
  • Resistance verification per IEC 60751 before assembly

Welding & Brazing

TIG welding for thermocouple junction formation, sheath closure, and connection hardware. Qualified welding procedures per AWS D17.1 for aerospace work. Vacuum brazing for hermetic application. Silver brazing for high-temperature joints. Weld inspection per visual and dye-penetrant methods.

  • AWS D17.1 qualified welders on staff
  • Weld inspection records per AS9100D
  • Argon purge for reactive alloys (Ti, Zr)

Calibration Laboratory &
Testing Capabilities

01

RTD Calibration

NIST-traceable RTD calibration from −200°C to 850°C. Comparison calibration in liquid baths and dry-block calibrators against reference platinum resistance thermometers (SPRTs). Individual R vs. T tables issued with calibration certificates.

02

Thermocouple Calibration

Thermocouple calibration from 0°C to 1100°C in tube furnaces against NIST-traceable reference thermocouples. EMF vs. temperature tables and polynomial deviation coefficients available. Type R, S, and B noble-metal calibration to 1480°C.

03

Insulation Resistance Testing

Insulation resistance measurement on MIMS assemblies per ASTM E585. 500V DC test between each conductor and sheath at room temperature. Results documented on traveler and included in calibration certificate where specified.

04

Repair & Recertification

Repair, inspection, and recalibration of existing sensor assets. Visual inspection, dimensional measurement, and NIST-traceable calibration — with full documentation reissued. Aerospace-grade repair per AS9100D §8.5.6.

05

Lead Time Summary

Standard thermocouple assemblies: same-day to 1 business day. RTD assemblies: 1–2 days. Complex MIMS or formed assemblies: 3 days. Machined thermowells: 3–5 days. Custom or FAIR-required orders: quoted individually. No minimum order quantity.

06

No Minimum Order

Thermometrics does not impose minimum order quantities on any product line. Single-piece orders receive the same quality and documentation as production runs. This is particularly important for aerospace programs requiring individual serial-number-tracked assemblies.
