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-031 Series CX-061 Series
Ahmic’s CX-031 and 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 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
