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.

EU Warehouse Stock & Same-Day Shipping

Our Dublin warehouse maintains extensive inventory of Alcor instruments for immediate delivery throughout the European Union. EU-based operations eliminate customs delays, simplify VAT procedures, and reduce shipping times compared to UK or US suppliers. Orders placed before 2PM ship same day to aviation maintenance organizations, aircraft operators, and certified repair stations across Europe. Post-Brexit advantages include streamlined EU documentation and faster delivery to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and all EU member states.

Comprehensive Product Range

Choose from single and dual needle configurations across multiple instrument categories. CHT meters monitor cylinder head temperatures for Lycoming and Continental engines. EGT instruments track exhaust gas temperatures with optional green arc markings and panel lighting. Combined CHT/EGT dual meters save panel space while monitoring both parameters. TIT instruments serve turbine applications on turboprop and jet aircraft. Available in standard 2-1/4 inch and 3-1/8 inch panel mount sizes for easy installation and replacement.

Tempest Quality and Integration

Alcor instruments benefit from Tempest's aviation expertise and quality control. Formerly manufactured by Alcor Inc., these instruments continue production under Tempest brand with improved manufacturing processes and enhanced quality assurance. Integration with Tempest product line offers compatibility with Tempest spark plugs, oil filters, and other aviation components. Consistent branding and reliable performance across Tempest accessories simplify maintenance operations and parts ordering for aircraft operators.

Technical Support and Documentation

Airpart Supply Europe provides comprehensive technical assistance for Alcor instrument selection, installation, and troubleshooting. Our experienced team assists with thermocouple type identification, calibration specifications, and panel mount sizing. Technical documentation includes installation instructions, wiring diagrams, and calibration procedures for all instrument models. Support covers compatibility with existing aircraft hardware, electrical systems, and sensor installations throughout European aviation operations.

Standard Panel Mount Sizes

All Alcor instruments utilize standard aviation panel sizes for straightforward installation. The 2-1/4 inch format weighs approximately 0.2 lbs and fits standard small instrument openings in general aviation panels. The 3-1/8 inch size weighs 0.4 lbs and accommodates standard primary instrument positions. Standard mounting reduces installation complexity and enables direct replacement of existing temperature gauges without panel modifications. Compatible with typical aircraft instrument panel layouts across Cessna, Piper, Beechcraft, and other general aviation manufacturers.

Durable Construction and Reliability

Tempest Alcor instruments feature robust construction for demanding aviation environments. Sealed cases protect internal mechanisms from moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes encountered in aircraft operations. Durable face markings maintain visibility throughout instrument service life. Reliable movement mechanisms provide consistent accuracy across operating temperature ranges. Quality construction ensures long service intervals and dependable performance for professional aviation applications requiring accurate temperature monitoring throughout engine and turbine operations.
