Thermocouples – including ones manufactured by K-Tec Systems – are used to ensure COVID-19 vaccines stay -94 degrees Fahrenheit (colder than winter in Antarctica!) as they're deployed to every corner of the globe.

We're proud to play a very small part in ensuring the vaccine gets distributed worldwide!

Vaccines like to be kept cool, but none more than the Food and Drug Administration-approved Pfizer vaccine.

Our founder, Catherine Koch, was featured in Professional WOMAN'S Magazine earlier this year, in an article titled "Pioneer, Settle, or Get Out of the Way."

"As your business matures, you often don’t realize which of your processes is revolutionary. Find the parts of your business that others would consider innovative, even if they’re just part of your day-to-day. You may find a whole new business line, just like Cathy Koch, president & CEO of K-Tec Systems, an industrial equipment provider. Cathy created training modules for her products using augmented and virtual reality simulations. They proved so effective that she now also markets the training simulators themselves for other businesses to apply to their own products/services."

Over the past 30 years, I have seen innovation from pioneering to missing the boat through bleeding edge innovations, and I have found great success

Are you using Type K thermocouples? Here at K-Tec Systems, Inc., we are working with companies in many different industries to upgrade their Type K thermocouples to Type N. These two thermocouple types operate over the same temperature range and in similar operating conditions, but tweaks in the wire composition give Type N longer lifespan and greater stability at very high operating temperatures.

When we think of wind tunnels, we typically imagine a car inside a room with a large, spinning fan.

At K-Tec Systems, we think about automobiles in wind tunnels, too. Climatic wind tunnels are also used to understand the aerodynamics of airplanes, trucks, drones, rockets, racing cars, and anything else that might encounter air resistance. They may be large enough to study the airflow around an entire vehicle, or they may be smaller for measuring airflow around a scale model or around a single component of a vehicle.

The airflow around these objects must be well understood so designs can improve: perhaps to increase a car’s fuel economy or enhance an airplane’s safety in turbulent weather. To understand the aerodynamics of vehicles and aircraft, the pressures, flow velocities, and flow angles of the air around them must be measured accurately.

K-Tec is the U.S. Distributor for Vectoflow GmbH. Their products can be highly customized for wind tunnel testing applications. Learn more via the link, or give us a call at 248-414-4100 to discuss your needs!

Measuring aerodynamics in a wind tunnel: Probes are selected to withstand high flow velocities, variable flow angles and high temps.
