EGT Sensors
T44 is measured by 14 thermocouples (in parallel) in the LP turbine nozzle guide vanes. (GenFam 5-19)
Take this temperature, correct (trim) it with factors stored in the Data Entry Plug (DEP) on the side of the EEC, and you end up with a standardised reference value that is called "EGT".
For info:
Max EGT is 900 deg C (takeoff).
The HPT entry temperatures get up to 1600 deg C.
