Thermocouples For Fire Testing
Temperature Measurement for Fire Testing
Accurate temperature measurement is critical in fire testing to ensure the safety, performance, and compliance of materials and products subjected to extreme heat and flames.
At Peak Sensors, we specialise in temperature sensor solutions designed specifically for fire testing applications. With over 25 years of experience and UK manufacturing expertise, we provide high-performance thermocouples engineered to withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°C, ensuring fast response, durability, and precision under the most demanding conditions.
Temperature Sensors for Fire Testing Industry
We supply thermocouples and temperature probes to:
- Fire testing laboratories and test houses
- Manufacturers conducting in-house fire resistance testing
- Regulatory bodies and certification labs
Our sensors are fully compliant with key fire testing standards such as EN 13501-1 (SBI), ISO 11925-2, EN 1363-1/2, and more. They provide reliable, calibrated, and traceable measurements that are crucial for product safety certification and regulatory compliance.
Peak Sensors Fire Testing Thermocouples Include:
Mineral Insulated Thermocouples: Designed for fast and accurate measurement of building materials exposed to fire with durable sheathing and flexible tails.
Base Metal Thermocouples with Mini Plug: Easy to connect sensors with a wide temperature range, suitable for quick integration into existing test setups.
Fire Testing Copper Disc Thermocouple:
A simple fibreglass insulated thermocouple featuring a 12mm diameter x 0.2mm thick copper disc welded to the measuring junction. This design is ideal for fire resistance testing, intermediate-scale orientation tests, facade fire propagation, and thermomechanical characterisation of materials. Available with or without a miniature connector and in 2 or 5 metre lengths, this type K Class 1 thermocouple operates from -10ºC to +480ºC.Custom probe designs to meet specific testing needs.
