The Arklay S. Richards Co., Inc. was founded in 1938 by a young ambitious engineer. By maintaining our founding principles we have grown into the oldest continuously family owned and operated thermocouple manufacturer in the country. The Arklay S. Richards Co., Inc. has a long list of family members who have worked in the company over the years. They include Arklay's: sons, grandson, granddaughters, great granddaughter as well as a great grandson. The company also has the privilege of employing a second generation of manufacturing personnel who are unrelated to the family. The Arklay S. Richards Co., Inc. began as a specialized manufacturer of thermocouples. Richards has also applied its high quality sensor manufacturing resources into producing the finest industrial anemometers and wind vanes available. Our comprehensive product line now includes thermocouples, RTD's, Thermocouple wire, Temperature Instruments, Nichrome Wire, Anemometers, Wind Vanes, Wind Alarms together with Displays. In addition we carry Quartz Tubes and Tubing, Pressure Gauges, and industrial process instruments. The Arklay S. Richards Co., Inc. has been manufacturing high performance industrial sensors since 1938. We take great pride in producing high quality sensors for all types of industrial applications. If you are measuring the temperature in an induction furnace with one of our Industrial MGO Thermocouples or the wind speed of a hurricane with one of our high speed industrial C5 Series Cup Anemometers. You can also always rely on the superior quality, accuracy, and durability, of all our products. Furthermore, made right here in the USA. We would also like to thank all of our loyal customers who have been with us for many years. Furthermore, going forward, we will use our founding principles and continue to manufacture the highest quality products you have come to expect from Richards.

RTD Sensors

RTD Sensors

An RTD, resistance temperature detector, is a passive temperature sensing device that operates on the principle that the resistance of a metal changes as the temperature changes. The electrical current that passes through the element...

Thermistors

Thermistors

A thermistor, a shortened version of the term thermal resistor, is a passive component whose resistance changes as the temperature in a system changes. Thus they serve as an inexpensive, accurate, and dynamic method for measuring temperature...

Thermocouples

Thermocouples

A thermocouple is a transducer that converts thermal energy into electrical energy and is constructed by joining wires made from dissimilar metals to form a junction. Voltage is produced when the temperature at the junction changes...
