Exhaust gas thermocouples for LM5000 land-based gas turbines are Type K sensors with +0.4% accuracy, featuring a hermetic termination head with bipolar termination studs to prevent cable cross-wiring, a state-of-the-art over sheath for proper tip fit without vibration-prone shims, and insulation resistance of 1x10^8 ohms at 500VDC. The sensor operates at temperatures from -20°F to 800°F at the termination head and -20°F to 392°F at the mating cable, with 100% humidity tolerance and a hermetic seal of 1x10^-6 scc/sec helium. It meets a dielectric strength test of 300VAC with 5mA allowable leakage and is designed as an interchangeable aftermarket replacement for OEM components. The product is certified to AS9100 with ISO 9001 and is not rated for flight applications.
Conax Technologies has introduced a solution that offers significant cost savings for LM2500 and LM5000 exhaust gas temperature measurement applications. Conax has a proven history of manufacturing reliable temperature sensors for large frame gas turbines and aeroderivative engines and now offers a cost-effective, aftermarket equivalent for LM engines. The Conax exhaust gas sensors for LM2500 and LM5000 turbines are engineered from state-of-the-art materials that are fully interchangeable with OEM products and offer excellent mechanical strength and superior oxidation creep resistance. The Conax solution is available at a competitive price point for all LM ground-based turbines.
