Recently, the Anhui Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology announced the second batch of Anhui's key industry chain landmark products, and Anhui Tiankang Group's self-developed COT cracking furnace thermocouple was successfully included. This product fills the gap in the province's high-end temperature sensor market for petrochemicals, breaking the long-standing foreign technology monopoly and setting a benchmark for domestic ethylene chemical industry chains and the localisation of high-end instruments.
The ethylene cracking furnace is a core piece of equipment in the petrochemical industry, and the furnace-specific thermocouple acts like the "accurate thermometer" of the equipment. For a long time, this core sensor relied on imports, becoming a bottleneck in the petrochemical industry chain. As a leading enterprise in the national new industrialisation demonstration base for instruments and meters, Anhui Tiankang Group has focused on precision temperature measurement for decades. Relying on a complete innovation system, it has set up a special R&D team to tackle the extreme conditions of cracking furnaces such as ultra-high temperatures, strong corrosion, and alternating thermal shocks, carrying out end-to-end independent development of sheath structure, sensor core, and sealing processes. Eventually, they launched the COT cracking furnace thermocouple, the first of its kind domestically, with comprehensive performance reaching an international advanced level. Today, Anhui Tiankang Group has grown from a single temperature instrument supplier to a comprehensive "high-precision and cutting-edge" enterprise covering temperature, pressure, flow, level, DCS and other series, firmly ranking among the top domestic instrument companies.
The inclusion of the COT cracking furnace thermocouple in the provincial key industry chain landmark products list is an authoritative recognition by the provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and industry experts of Anhui Tiankang Group's strong innovation and domestic substitution achievements. It is also an important milestone for the high-quality development of Tianchang's instrument and meter pillar industry. As a leading company in Tianchang's instrument and cable industry chain, Anhui Tiankang Group will take this as an opportunity to focus on the strategy of strengthening manufacturing in the province, leveraging the 5G smart factory and Tiankang Cloud industrial internet platform, and continuously of the instrument and meter industry, fully playing the role of a leading chain enterprise, helping Tianchang build a nationally leading high-end instrument industry cluster, and empowering the high-quality development of key domestic petrochemical, energy and other industry chains through independent innovation, continuously enhancing the "Tiankang" national manufacturing brand.
