K-Tec Systems

Are you using Type K thermocouples? Here at K-Tec Systems, Inc., we are working with companies in many different industries to upgrade their Type K thermocouples to Type N. These two thermocouple types operate over the same temperature range and in similar operating conditions, but tweaks in the wire composition give Type N longer lifespan and greater stability at very high operating temperatures.

When we think of wind tunnels, we typically imagine a car inside a room with a large, spinning fan.

At K-Tec Systems, we think about automobiles in wind tunnels, too. Climatic wind tunnels are also used to understand the aerodynamics of airplanes, trucks, drones, rockets, racing cars, and anything else that might encounter air resistance. They may be large enough to study the airflow around an entire vehicle, or they may be smaller for measuring airflow around a scale model or around a single component of a vehicle.

The airflow around these objects must be well understood so designs can improve: perhaps to increase a car’s fuel economy or enhance an airplane’s safety in turbulent weather. To understand the aerodynamics of vehicles and aircraft, the pressures, flow velocities, and flow angles of the air around them must be measured accurately.

K-Tec is the U.S. Distributor for Vectoflow GmbH. Their products can be highly customized for wind tunnel testing applications. Learn more via the link, or give us a call at 248-414-4100 to discuss your needs!
