Thermocouples and temperature measurement
Locally made. Traceably accurate.
Renew supplies thermocouples and temperature measurement components for every industry and application where temperature is a key focus, manufactured in South Africa with SANAS-traceable certification available.
The range
Types J, K, R, S, T, N and E. PT100 RTDs. Everything in between.
Renew manufactures thermocouples locally in South Africa in Types J, K, R, S, T, N and E, and supplies PT100 resistance temperature detectors and related accessories. The product range extends to temperature measurement cables, plugs and connectors, thermowells and accessories, all with full traceability.
Because the components are made here, lead times are short and pricing is competitive without compromising quality. SANAS-traceable certification is available on our temperature measurement products for customers who need verifiable calibration.
Sensor types
| Type | Materials | Range | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type J | Iron / Constantan | −40 to 750 °C | General purpose, reducing atmospheres |
| Type K | Chromel / Alumel | −200 to 1,260 °C | The industrial workhorse |
| Type T | Copper / Constantan | −200 to 350 °C | Cryogenic and food applications |
| Type E | Chromel / Constantan | −200 to 900 °C | Highest output per degree |
| Type N | Nicrosil / Nisil | −200 to 1,300 °C | Stable alternative to Type K |
| Type R | Platinum-rhodium 13% | 0 to 1,600 °C | High temperature, oxidising |
| Type S | Platinum-rhodium 10% | 0 to 1,600 °C | Laboratory and furnace reference |
| Type PT100 | Platinum RTD | −200 to 600 °C | High accuracy resistance sensor |
Industries
Wherever temperature is the critical parameter.
Our sensors are used in a very wide range of applications, be it oil and gas, plastics, power generation and energy, general industry, food or transportation.
Oil and gas
Process temperature on refineries, pipelines and gas plants.
Plastics
Barrel, nozzle and mould sensing for extrusion and injection moulding.
Power generation and energy
Boilers, turbines, flares and biogas plants.
General industry
Furnaces, kilns, heat treatment and process control.
Food
Hygienic probes and RTDs for cooking, chilling and storage.
Transportation
Exhaust, brake and engine monitoring on rail and road.
Why buy locally manufactured?
Imported sensors come with long lead times, currency risk and paperwork that rarely proves what it claims. Renew’s locally manufactured components offer competitive pricing while maintaining quality standards and verifiable product traceability, so an auditor can follow every sensor back to its certificate.
