Sensor Coating Systems Ltd (SCS) are developing an innovative technology for measuring temperatures in harsh industrial applications. This is a unique thermal mapping technology for high value markets such as power generation and aerospace industries. The technology is based on a smart-memory material that has been developed by SCS and it is applied as a paint or a coating on the surface of the components to be measured. The coated components are then used in standard operating conditions where they exposed to high temperatures. After the process, once the components have cool down, they are interrogated with a laser-probe instrument also developed and protected by SCS (patent pending). From the luminescence properties of the material and by performing a sophisticated calibration method, the past maximum temperature of the component can be measured.The calibration method relies on measuring the Lifetime Decay (LTD) of the coating material, which can be directly corelated to the past maximum exposure temperature of the coating. SCS has developed a bespoke optical measurement system to perform these LTD measurements. It has more recently shown that additional spectral measurements can greatly enhance the temperature accuracy. Separate instrumentation for spectral measurements has been developed by SCS and is currently in use for commercial projects. However, the overall measurements process is now considerably longer and can also be subject to spatial inaccuracies, as each measurement point needs to be measured twice.The objective of this project is therefore to integrate the two measurement systems (LTD & Spectra) into one and perform the two measurements simultaneously. That would effectively reduce the measurement time by 50%, which can be several days for large industrial projects. Operational costs will also be reduced and measurement uncertainty due to spatial accuracy tolerances will be eliminated. For this project SCS is looking forward to collaborate with NPL and take advantage of their expertise and state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.

传感器涂料系统有限公司（SCS）正在开发一种创新技术，用于测量苛刻的工业应用中的温度。这是针对发电和航空航天行业等高价值市场的独特热图技术。该技术基于SCS开发的智能记忆材料，并在要测量的组件表面上用作油漆或涂层。然后将涂层组件用于标准操作条件，在这些条件下暴露于高温下。在此过程之后，一旦组件冷却，它们就会被激光探针仪器审问，也由SCS开发和保护（专利待处理）。从材料的发光特性并通过执行复杂的校准方法，可以测量成分的最高温度。校准方法依赖于测量涂层的寿命衰变（LTD），这可以直接固定在涂层的过去最大暴露温度下。 SCS开发了定制的光学测量系统来执行这些LTD测量。最近，它表明，其他光谱测量值可以极大地提高温度准确性。 SCS已开发了用于光谱测量的单独仪器，目前正在商业项目中使用。但是，现在的整体测量过程要长得多，并且也可能受到空间不准确性的影响，因为每个测量点需要两次测量。这将有效地将测量时间减少50％，这对于大型工业项目来说可能是几天。由于空间准确性公差而导致的测量不确定性也将减少。对于这个项目，SCS期待与NPL合作，并利用其专业知识和最先进的设施和设备。
