Popular GIC Power-Gen Sensor Styles

New Fast-Response Ungrounded Thermocouples:
GIC now manufactures a new revolutionary design option that can be added to most ungrounded sensors. With this New fast response option, the sensors respond to temperature changes closer to that of Grounded Sensors. Current testing validated to 2,000 F.

Exhaust Thermocouples:
GIC offers improved EGT sensors for any of your Frame style generators. With improved sensor life GIC also offers several options such as quick disconnects and hermetic transitions Frame 5, Frame 7 family replacement sensors. These sensors have been designed to improve sensor life.

Boiler Tube Thermocouples:
GIC has been making boiler tube sensors for over 40 years. To assure product quality and avoid unnecessary “shut-downs” GIC takes extra steps to guarantee our power-gen sensors are the best quality. We  X-ray 100% of the sensor junctions and weld caps to assure product integrity.  Other tests include 12 hour soak testing and process temperature testing.

Bearing Sensors / Embedment Sensors:
GIC offers a complete line of bearing sensors and embedment sensors including our exclusive new faster responding sensors.

Turbine Test Thermocouple Sensors:
Designed to meet the requirements of the ASME Power Test Code for steam and water temperature measurements on the Turbine Acceptance Tests the assembly provides accuracy ratings of +/- ½% for continuous readings to 1600F.

Hard to find Replacement Sensors:
GIC can duplicate almost any sensor.  When our Power Generator customers send us the discontinued or imported sensor to match, we make and take the extra effort to provide the style sensor you require.

Other Specialty sensors also available:
They include, Wheel Space Sensors, Thermowell Head Assemblies, Tilt Pad, Thrust Bearings, Spring Loaded Bayonet Hose clamp assemblies and many other specialty sensors not listed.

Why Use GIC at Your Facility

Experience:
Our Sales and Engineering staff have over 100 years of combined experience with the Power Generation industry. We work with closely with our customers to assure they have a long lasting, cost effective, sensor for their application.

Quality Guarantee:
GIC stands by its power-gen sensors. If a sensor fails in any approved application within the first 12 months, GIC will send you a new replacement sensor. Multiple year replacement warranties are also available.

Complete Line of Sensors:
GIC offers a full line of thermocouple and resistance temperature detectors (RTD’s). We make all sizes and shapes to meet your needs. Custom designs to improve performance.

Fast Turnaround:
Our standard delivery of custom sensors is in 3 – 4 weeks. We offer Accelerated Delivery Service in as little as 1 – 2 business days, plus we have a large inventory of stock items available for same day delivery to meet your sensor needs.

Failure Analysis:
Sensor problems? GIC welcomes the opportunity to help you solve this problem.  Contact our office or, if possible, send us a sample of your failed sensor and we will work with you to develop a design that will give you improved performance. We’’ve worked with Utility Industry Engineers to improve on sensor product reliability and quality enhancements for various turbine generators e.g. Frame 5, Frame 7 and Frame 7FA units throughout the Industry.  Power plants that once experienced a high percentage of costly sensor failures are now seeing few problems as a result of this Failure Analysis Program.

Capabilities
Unsurpassed Quality Control:  Our fully trained manufacturing personnel follow CAD prints; utilize written quality and assembly procedures; provide raw material traceability requirements; perform in-process and final inspection audits to meet the quality demands of your sensors.

Testing and Soaking at Process Temperatures Available:  It’s possible for a sensor to fail when the boiler or turbine gets to full temperature even though it tested fine at low temperature or during a short term QC bench test.  GIC can now offer an optional extended length soak test at temperatures up to 2000 ºF.  The sensor data is recorded and reviewed to make certain that there are no intermittent failures during testing.

In-house X-Ray Equipment:   We have the ability to x-ray and evaluate your sensor at any step of the process from before the design process begins, through the in-process and final quality assurance inspection process.

Complete Machining Facility: Allows our engineers the capacity to design and machine or duplicate existing hardware, from prototype to full production to the tightest dimensional tolerance of your application.

In-house Water Jet Cutting:  Our water jet equipment allows our engineers to cut complex custom flanges and brackets for one of a kind applications.
