Oxsensis Ltd. was formed in 2003 as a spin-out from Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. Its sensor technology is based on the micromachining of super resistant materials such as single-crystal sapphire (melting point >2000C) together with innovative fibre optic interrogation techniques which give high sensitivity and immunity from electro-magnetic interference (EMI) effects common in turbomachinery such as gas turbines.
Oxsensis launches the first ever sensor system that can measure dynamic pressure, absolute pressure and temperature from a single transducer whilst operating up to temperatures of 1000°C (1800°F).

The Oxsensis Wave-Phire™ gets you closer to your data than any other sensor. Its micro-machined sapphire sensor head and high-temperature fibre-optic tail survive where other sensors fail, meaning you can get the data you need – reliably, accurately and efficiently.
