Surface Temperature
Unsteady surface temperature plays a pivotal role in understanding thermal loads, boundary-layer development, and material response in high-enthalpy flow environments. Accurate, high-speed surface temperature measurements are essential for assessing heat flux, calibrating thermal protection systems, and validating predictive models. Coaxial thermocouples enable direct, time-resolved temperature acquisition during both ground and flight tests, offering critical insight into transient thermal behavior across a range of aerodynamic surfaces and test conditions.

Tech Sheet: CX-061 Series
Ahmic’s CX-061 Series Coaxial Thermocouples are engineered for high-speed thermal measurements in extreme test environments. With sub-10 µs response times and tight ±0.001” coaxial tolerances, they deliver reliable data under intense vibration and thermal gradients. Options include thin-film or slivered junctions for flexibility, plus an optional triaxial configuration for added shielding and electrical isolation. Ideal for ground and flight tests, the CX-061 Series offers compact, rugged performance for accurate and repeatable surface temperature acquisition.
Key Features:
- Precision-build for hypersonic RDT&E applications
- Fast thermal response < 10 µs
- Small package size for surface matching
