Thermo-Tuff - High Precision Linear Temperature Sensor
From Sensor - Temperature Sensor
The Hydronix Thermo-Tuff is a fast response, high precision, linear temperature sensor for use in industrial processes. Designed for measurement in bulk materials and mixing applications, it is especially suited for use in the harshest of environments such as concrete mixers and aggregate bins. This sensor outclasses its rivals by taking advantage of high speed, high accuracy electronics, thermally isolated from their surroundings to achieve the fastest possible temperature response. Typical applications for the Thermo-Tuff include sand, cement, concrete, asphalt and aggregates.

Applications
-
Hydronix Sensors for Moisture Measurement in Aggregates and Sand - Construction & Construction Materials - Cement
Hydronix sensors were originally designed for the ready-mix and pre-cast concrete industries to increase the accuracy of batching and slump control. However, microwave moisture measurement has also proved to be invaluable in other industries that use sand or aggregates during processing.
-
Hydronix Sensors for Moisture Measurement in Asphalt Production - Construction & Construction Materials - Cement
With increasing costs in raw materials, asphalt manufacturers are looking at ways to reduce costs while continuing to produce a consistent quality product. On-line moisture measurement in asphalt production is a cost effective method of reducing costs without affecting quality.
-
Hydronix Sensors for Clay Brick Production - Construction & Construction Materials - Cement
Moisture measurement and control is an important factor in maintaining consistency and quality when producing clay bricks. Traditionally the moisture content has been controlled manually. However producers have found that introducing microwave sensors from Hydronix is an extremely accurate and effective method to measure moisture in clay brick manufacture.
-
Hydronix Sensors for Moisture Measurement in Concrete Production - Construction & Construction Materials - Cement
Hydronix sensors were originally designed for moisture measurement in concrete production and are built to survive the harsh environment of flowing aggregates and the turbulence of a concrete mixer. Manufacturers are required to produce quality concrete to rigorous specifications, batch after batch while keeping costs to a minimum. Hydronix sensors can be used to control the moisture content of every batch to within +/- 0.1% moisture.
