Curious about Thermal History Technology? Uncover what’s possible.
Across aerospace, power generation, automotive, and heavy industry, the challenge isn't simply measuring temperature, it's understanding temperature distribution across critical components operating in harsh environments.
Sensor Coating Systems (SCS) provides advanced, high-resolution thermal mapping, using Thermal History Coatings and Paints to reveal the temperatures experienced by components during operation, helping eng...
Calgary Calling: SCS Looks Ahead to Turbo Expo 2027
Next June SCS is heading to Calgary for ASME Turbo Expo 2027, where the global turbomachinery community will come together.
With the abstract submission deadline this Thursday 15 October 2026, the SCS team are busy preparing their contributions for next year’s conference.
There is no need to wait until Calgary to connect. If you would like to discuss your thermal measurement challenges or an upcoming testing programme, the SCS team is ...
Reducing Uncertainty in High-Temperature Thermal Mapping
Turbomachinery firing temperatures continue to increase to improve engine and fuel efficiency, with state-of-the-art systems now operating near 1600 °C. These extreme conditions push component durability and lifetime to their limits, making accurate surface temperature measurement essential for rapid prototype screening and validation of thermal models.
Presented at ASME Turbo Expo earlier this year, technical paper GT2026-177344 exp...
World Space Week | 4–10 October 2026

The cooling Paradox: More cooling isn't always better.
In 𝗴𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀, much of the focus is on heat: how hot components get and how much they can withstand. But the cooling deserves just as much attention.
For 𝗮𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 and 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 engineers, protecting hot-section components is a constant balancing act.
Higher operating temperatures can deliver greater engine 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 and 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, but they also increase thermal loading o...

Helping Customers Unlock More Value from their Thermal Data
It's a comment SCS hears regularly from engineers when they first see the results produced by SCS’s Thermal Mapping service.
Designing the engines of the future requires a deep understanding of internal thermal processes. Temperature distributions influence cooling effectiveness, material behaviour, efficiency, emissions, and ultimately component life. Yet obtaining this information across an entire component operating in harsh en...
Revealing the Thermal Behaviour of Turbocharger Bearing Assemblies.
Accurate temperature data is essential for optimising turbocharger performance, reliability and durability. Yet capturing detailed thermal distributions across bearing cartridge assemblies has traditionally been challenging.
In the ASME Turbo Expo 2024 paper GT2024-126715, Sensor Coating Systems (SCS), together with MinebeaMitsumi Europe and IHI Charging Systems International GmbH, demonstrated how Thermal History Paints (...
