INSTRUMENT SUNSHADES
INDUSTRIAL INSTRUMENT SUNSHADES
Weather Protection for Field Instrumentation & Control Equipment
TK Fantastic provides industrial instrument sunshade solutions designed to protect field instrumentation, transmitters, gauges, switches and control equipment from environmental exposure in demanding industrial environments.
Available in Polyester GRP and Stainless Steel configurations, the sunshade system helps reduce direct solar exposure while providing additional protection against rain, dust and environmental conditions that may affect field equipment performance and service life.
For temperature-sensitive instrumentation, reducing direct solar radiation can also help limit solar-induced enclosure temperature rise, supporting more stable operating conditions for measurement and control equipment.
Systems can be configured according to instrument dimensions, mounting arrangement, site conditions and application requirements, with customised designs available for specific industrial projects.
