Why Choose Alcor from Tempest Instruments?
Accurate Temperature Monitoring
Alcor instruments provide precise temperature monitoring for aircraft engines and turbine systems. Type J thermocouples offer reliable cylinder head temperature readings with 500F calibration at 8.0 ohm resistance, while Type K thermocouples deliver accurate exhaust gas temperature measurements from 1600F to 1650F ranges. Turbine inlet temperature instruments utilize dual needle design with 7.44 to 7.6 ohm calibration for consistent turbine monitoring in general aviation and turboprop aircraft.
FAA and EASA Compliance
All Tempest Alcor instruments meet regulatory requirements for aircraft temperature monitoring systems. These gauges comply with FAA Technical Standard Orders and EASA certification standards for aviation instruments. Compatible with approved aircraft data including Cessna type certificates, Piper supplemental type certificates, and other general aviation maintenance manuals. Documentation supports installation in certified aircraft throughout European Union operations.
