Exhaust Gas Temperature SensorA customer was seeking a USA supplier for their exhaust gas temperature sensor (EGT) that was supplied by a European company. The new EGT sensor probe had to meet stringent environmental and performance requirements. Additionally, costs for qualifying a new supplier are high and time-consuming. So the new supplier needed to provide cost advantages to justify the supplier change.Considering the costs of qualification, the customer had to first evaluate Durex as a potential supplier. Was Durex a stable manufacturer with engineering and production capabilities necessary to support the project? Then came preliminary evaluation of the temperature sensor test samples. This was followed by 1-year long-term environment tests on 100 sensor samples. Durex EGT temperature sensor probes exceeded the performance and reliability requirements and pricing was very competitive. As a result, Durex is now being evaluated for additional temperature sensor probes.
