istec supplies industrial temperature sensors for the process industry: oil-tight bearing temperature sensors (TCS580, RTD580), thermocouples up to 1800 °C, Pt100 resistance thermometers, thermowells, process couplings and extension cables, in standard and custom designs. Akan Industrial and Automation supplies the istec temperature range in Türkiye, alongside istec speed and vibration monitoring products.
Bearing temperature sensors
| Model | Element | Key characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| TCS580 | Thermocouple | Oil-tight; small sensor tip for fast response; cabling options for harsh environments |
| RTD580 | RTD | Oil-tight; same compact tip and cabling options as TCS580 |
Bearing temperature is a key indicator of oil film and bearing condition on industrial rotating equipment.
Thermocouples
| Characteristic | Options |
|---|---|
| Types | K, J, T, N, E, R, S (B for highest temperatures) |
| Wiring | Simplex, duplex, triplex |
| Certifications | ATEX Ex ia, ATEX Ex d, IECEx Ex d |
| Up to 1300 °C | Type K (NiCr-Ni), Type N (Nicrobell C) |
| Up to 1800 °C | Types R, S, B (platinum–platinum rhodium) |
High-temperature thermocouples are used in combustion furnaces, flue gas channels, glass furnaces, electroplating baths, stoves and other harsh environments.
Resistance thermometers (RTD)
2-, 3- or 4-wire Pt100 sensors are the most common type; custom Pt20, Pt50, Pt500 and Pt1000 elements and probes are also available.
Thermowells
- Threaded thermowells and protection tubes
- Flanged thermowells and protection tubes
- Weld-in thermowells
- Cladded (coated) thermowells
- Hygienic thermowells
Couplings, cables and accessories
Clamp and process couplings, thermocouple extension and compensation cables, and accessories for Pt100 sensors and thermowells.
