High-Temperature Sensors for Gas and Steam Turbine Monitoring
Advanced Combustion Dynamics and Condition Monitoring Solutions
For more than 50 years, IMI Sensors has supported the gas and steam turbine industries with high-performance sensing solutions. Whether monitoring combustor dynamics in gas turbines or detecting pressure and vibration fluctuations in steam turbines, IMI helps operators and OEMs reduce downtime, improve safety, and extend equipment life.
Sensors for Combustion and Condition Monitoring
IMI Sensors provides robust pressure and vibration solutions for gas and steam turbines, designed to deliver accurate and reliable performance in high-temperature environments.
Our UHT-12™ pressure sensors and charge mode accelerometers are built for direct turbine mounting and can withstand extreme temperatures up to 1200 °F (649 °C). For moderate heat zones, ICP® accelerometers operate reliably up to 325 °F (162 °C), offering simplified installation with internal electronics. In lower-temperature locations outside the turbine enclosure, ICP® pressure sensors provide a cost-effective remote monitoring option with excellent signal integrity.
Product applications include:
- Detecting high-frequency pulsations and dynamic pressure spikes
- Monitoring vibration in combustor zones and other high-heat areas
- Identifying early signs of combustion instability
- Supporting performance analysis in lean-burn, dual-fuel, and heavy-duty turbines
- Enabling emissions control and root cause diagnostics
- Using remote pressure sensors for easier access and maintenance
