CCS Carbon Ceramic Sensors™ Performance

CCS carbon-ceramic cryogenic thermometers offer superior mechanical, thermal and environmental performance when compared to other cryogenic temperature sensors available. Their unparalleled cost/performance ratio means that they are widely used throughout research and industry.

  • excellent long-term stability < 15mK @ 4.2K / 15yrs
  • short term repeatability < 0.05% @ 4.2K
  • accuracy < 0.05%
  • thermal response < 1mS @ 4.2K
  • high sensitivity up to 1800 Ω/K @ 4.2K
  • low magnetic field error <1% for B<6T
  • low neutron-radiation error <1% for F < 1017N/cm²
  • low ionizing-radiation error < 1% after 1MGy exposure
  • robust mechanical construction
