Oxsensis

Oxsensis Ltd. is a British-based engineering business specialising in energy and aerospace equipment. Oxsensis Ltd. has developed dynamic pressure sensors that operate at temperatures greater than . This is a noteworthy technical achievement as existing piezoelectric-based pressure sensors are not capable of operating at temperatures beyond . This achievement can be considered significant for industries such as power generation and aviation. This is because this technology allows manufacturers of gas turbines and jet engines to more closely control the combustion that is taking place in the combustor. The benefits that this offers to operating the gas turbine are increased levels of efficiency and also reduced levels of harmful pollutants such as NOx.

Oxsensis is based at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory close to the city of Oxford in the United Kingdom (UK). The company was founded in 2003 and is privately owned with backing from various venture capital firms.
