RTD Thermocouples

AMETEK Sensors & Fluid Management Systems (SFMS) designs and manufactures high-accuracy Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) sensors for aerospace engine, airframe, fuel, hydraulic, bleed air, and environmental control applications. Built around proven sensing technology, our RTDs deliver precise temperature measurement, exceptional long-term stability, and reliable operation in some of the harshest aerospace environments.

With more than six decades of aerospace sensing experience, AMETEK RTD sensors are engineered to withstand vibration, thermal cycling, icing, lightning, foreign object damage, and other demanding environmental conditions. Every design is developed with a focus on accuracy, durability, and lifecycle performance to support critical aircraft systems throughout their operational life for precise temperature measurement across critical aerospace systems.

• Proven performance in engine, bleed air, fuel, hydraulic, and environmental control applications.
• Designed and tested to withstand vibration, icing, thermal, lightning, and environmental exposure conditions.
• Available in custom configurations including 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire designs with single or dual sensing elements.

AMETEK RTD sensors are deployed across commercial, military, and business aviation platforms, supporting applications ranging from compressor inlet and air temperature measurements to hydraulic fluid monitoring and bleed air temperature sensing. Our RTD technology provides outstanding channel-to-channel correlation, excellent repeatability, and reduced manufacturing variability compared to traditional wire-wound designs.

To ensure performance and reliability, SFMS conducts extensive validation testing, including wind tunnel evaluations, response time testing, vibration testing, and thermal cycling. This rigorous development process helps reduce program risk while delivering accurate and dependable measurements throughout the aircraft lifecycle.
