 Alberox produces a line of thermocouple housings for aerospace
applications. Utilizing its application engineering expertise, Alberox
produces thermocouple housings that can handle the most extreme
conditions while remaining specialized for individual tasks.
Thermocouple housings are constructed from a variety of metal components
and high purity Alumina (Al203) ceramic. These corrosion resistant
materials and Alberox's manufacturing processes yield stable hermeticity
in severe environments. Component durability is tested by subjecting
all ceramic-to-metal assemblies to thermal cycling from -55°F to
700°F, as well as extended periods at elevated temperatures up
to 1000°F.
 Featuring robust designs, the thermocouples are resistant to vibration
and mechanical shock failure, making them ideal for aircraft engine
applications. Manufactured using high temperature braze materials,
all thermocouples are 100% leak-tested with helium, ensuring reliability
and an exceptional seal. Also, all thermocouple housings have high
terminal torque ratings that increase component reliability. With
minimal tooling costs, the ceramic-to-metal design allows for cost-competitive
manufacturing.
Designed with flexibility in mind, easily welded 300 series SST
housings are available for broader component applications. Single,
dual or multiple contacts are also available in a variety of thermocouple
materials offering greater design flexibility.
Along with thermocouples, Alberox also supplies a line of fire
detection feedthrus for aerospace applications. Utilizing its application
engineering expertise, Alberox produces fire detection components
that can handle the most extreme conditions while remaining specialized
for individual tasks.
Fire detection feedthrus are constructed from a variety of metal
components and high purity Alumina (Al203) ceramic. These corrosion
resistant materials and the manufacturing processes yield stable
hermeticity in severe environments. Component durability is tested
by subjecting all ceramic-to-metal assemblies to thermal cycling
from -55°F to 1000°F, as well as extended periods at elevated temperatures
up to 1000°F.
With a reduced risk of hermetic
leakers, the components also offer
higher reliability. All fire detection feedthrus are produced within
an ISO9002 certified facility. With minimal tooling costs, the ceramic-to-metal
design allows for cost-competitive manufacturing. These innovations
allow for the longer life of fire detection components and contribute
to the application specific benefits of ceramic-to-metal assemblies.
