Gun Barrel In-wall Thermocouples<\/p><\/div>\n

Veritay Type-K Ballistic In-Wall Thermocouples (IWTCs) are industry standard for measuring both transient and long-term temperature in gun barrels.\u00a0 Veritay\u2019s In-wall thermocouples are non-intrusive sensors installed in ports machined into the gun barrel. Since the instrumentation port is non-intrusive, protective plating on the bore surface remains intact. This is of particular importance for large\u00a0caliber cannons and artillery where intrusive instrumentation can dramatically increase bore wear. Veritay’s IWTC’s are used in applications ranging from small-arms to medium-caliber cannon to large-caliber artillery systems.<\/p>\n

Fast-response thermocouples<\/strong> (FRTs) are used for measuring the transient heat pulse resulting from gun firing. FRTs are placed no closer than 0.050″ from the bore surface which provides a balance between fast response time and protection from severe barrel erosion often seen in experimental ammunition. Typical applications of Fast Response Thermocouples are:<\/p>\n
