PHI Thermocouple
Thermocouples and complete temperature control systems for industrial furnaces, supplied to order or from standard stock, with calibration through an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory.
A thermocouple is two dissimilar conductors joined at one end. The junction produces a voltage that varies with temperature, and reading that voltage gives the temperature. It is the most widely used temperature sensor in industrial furnaces.
It's also the part that gets overlooked until it fails. A furnace running on a drifting or poorly calibrated thermocouple holds the wrong temperature, and the damage usually shows up in the workpiece before anyone suspects the instrument. Prolific supplies thermocouples both to order and as standard stock items, together with the control systems that read them.
Beyond supply, the team designs and assembles control panels, runs them in on site, and handles overhaul and repair. Calibration goes through an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, and on-site temperature uniformity evaluation is available for furnaces that have to meet a survey standard.
Sensor, panel and calibration from one supplier. Prolific designs and assembles the control panel, commissions it on site, and calibrates the sensors to ISO/IEC 17025.

A thermocouple is two dissimilar electrical conductors joined to form a junction. That junction produces a voltage which varies with temperature, through the thermoelectric effect, and reading the voltage gives you the temperature. It is the most widely used temperature sensor in industry.
In a furnace it is also one of the main spare parts. Without it the furnace cannot hold a setpoint, and a thermocouple that has drifted or been calibrated badly will damage the workpiece long before anyone suspects the instrument rather than the process.
Prolific supplies thermocouples both made to order and as standard items, for high-requirement operating conditions as well as routine replacement. Raw material is selected for the duty rather than to a single grade.
Accuracy is only useful if it holds, so calibration is offered alongside supply, covering the sensor, the control system and the full heating system.
Services
- Supply of thermocouples and temperature control systems, made to order or standard
- Maintenance, repair and rebuild
- Calibration by an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory
- Uniformity evaluation test on site
Control panels are designed and built to the installation rather than supplied as a catalogue item, then run in and tuned on site.
Hardware
Control panel design and assembly, on-site test run, adjustment and fine tuning.
Software
Improvement of the user interface, PLC and touch screen work, and advanced programming where the process needs it.
Maintenance
Systematic overhaul and repair, with essential spare parts kept available.
