Who is Pyromation?

Founded in 1962, Pyromation has grown from a small, service-oriented business into one of North America’s leading manufacturers. They are an ISO 9001 and 14001 registered firm and are a lean manufacturing enterprise. Thus, this speaks volumes about their commitment to quality, environmental responsibility, and efficiency.

Pyromation is not just a parts supplier; they pride themselves on being a solutions provider. They partner with customers, offering application assistance and working on both standard and custom designs. Thus, ensuring the right temperature sensor is selected for the customer’s specific job.

What do they Sell?

Pyromation’s product line is focused on the critical task of process temperature measurement. Their core offerings include a comprehensive range of sensors and complementary components:

Thermocouples (TCs): Versatile and widely used devices that convert heat units into measurable electrical signals for process controllers. They produce both standard and high-temperature models.

Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs/PT100s): Highly accurate sensors known for excellent repeatability and interchangeability, making them ideal for precise applications.

Thermowells: Pressure-tight receptacles designed to protect temperature sensors (like TCs and RTDs) from mechanical damage or chemical corrosion in harsh process environments.

Transmitters: Devices that take the sensor signal and convert it into a scalable output, such as a 4-20 mA signal, which is standard for industrial control systems.

Connection Heads and Accessories: Including explosion-proof certified assemblies for hazardous locations, wire, connectors, and specialized fittings.

Special-Purpose Sensors: Such as sanitary CIP (Clean-In-Place) sensors for the food and beverage, and pharmaceutical industries (often 3-A approved), heat-tracing sensors, and durable thermocouples for use in diesel engines and heavy-duty mining equipment.

What makes them Unique?

Pyromation’s competitive edge—their Unique Selling Proposition (USP)—can be summarized by their motto and their operational philosophy: “Speed, Service, Solutions Beyond Measure.”
