Philtec specializes in the design of sensor systems for gaining access to hard to reach targets. In March 2019, several dozen model D47 sensors were delivered with long fiber optic cables and very small 90° probes as seen here. The fiber optic cable lengths varied from 21 ft. to 55 Ft. long
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
“We just got some feedback about the 9 sensors with special configuration and copper sheathing. They are quite satisfied by the sensors, which are well resisting against the 400°C. They have done several tests and measurement campaigns in laboratory and on flight.”
