Tiankang Group’s High-Precision Thin-Film RTD Chip Awarded "Top 10 Innovations" at MICONEX 2026

HEFEI, China – August 14, 2026 – Anhui Tiankang (Group) Co., Ltd., a leading designer and manufacturer of process automation instrumentation, announced today that its proprietary High-Precision Thin-Film Temperature Sensing Chip (Thin-Film Platinum RTD Element) has been honored with the prestigious "Top 10 New Products of the Year" award at the 34th International Conference and Exhibition on Measurement, Instrumentation and Automation (MICONEX 2026).

Organized by the China Instrument and Control Society (CIS), MICONEX is one of Asia’s premier industrial automation expositions. The 2026 edition convened over 450 global manufacturers and 20,000 industrial automation professionals. Products nominated for the "Top 10 Innovations" underwent rigorous third-party technical validation, evaluated on design novelty, metrological precision, operational reliability in extreme media, and volume manufacturing readiness.

Engineering Breakthrough: Redefining Thermal Accuracy & Drift Stability

In process industries—ranging from petrochemical refining and chemical dosing to semiconductor fabrication—process safety and thermal efficiency hinge entirely on the repeatability and drift rate of the primary sensing element. Traditional wire-wound or conventional ceramic elements often suffer from mechanical thermal stress, significant temperature drift, and degradation under severe vibration.

Tiankang Group’s newly awarded thin-film sensing chip integrates micro-nano lithography with high-vacuum physical vapor deposition (PVD) to achieve tier-one performance benchmarks:

l Strict IEC 60751 Compliance: Designed to meet and exceed DIN EN 60751 Class AA, A, and 1/3 DIN tolerances, delivering true sub-zero to high-temperature measurement fidelity.

l Minimal Long-Term Drift: Ultra-dense platinum (Pt) film deposition and precision laser trimming ensure annual drift ratings below 0.04% under sustained thermal cycling.

l Rugged Mechanical & Vibrational Endurance: Monolithic ceramic-substrate architecture eliminates mechanical resonance failures common in harsh offshore, pipeline, and rotating machinery environments.

l Rapid Thermal Response Time: Low thermal mass engineered for high-velocity fluid conduits and transient thermal analysis.

Application Verticals: From Petrochem to High-Purity Fluid Handling

The chip serves as the foundational core for Tiankang’s RTD probe assemblies, thermowell systems, and smart temperature transmitters, engineered for critical applications:

l Petrochemical & Refining: Fractionation towers, catalyst bed profiling, and SIL-rated safety instrumented loops.

l Chemical & Fluid Handling: High-viscosity slurries, cryogenic fluids, and corrosive media handling.

l Renewable Energy & BESS: Thermal runaway monitoring in megawatt-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) and hydrogen electrolysis units.

Securing Global Instrumentation Supply Chains

"Precision temperature measurement is non-negotiable in demanding industrial processes," said a Senior Instrumentation Engineer at Tiankang’s National Enterprise Technology Center. "By mastering full-cycle thin-film deposition and in-house laser trimming, Tiankang ensures a robust, vertically integrated supply chain for tier-1 RTD chips—offering OEM sensor manufacturers and end-users consistent lead times, drop-in replacement compatibility, and zero compromise on drift specifications."

Tiankang Group continues to expand its global export portfolio, offering standardized Pt100, Pt500, and Pt1000 thin-film elements alongside customized package geometries for global OEM/ODM instrumentation partners.
