[0002] The test of aircraft engine air system involves the measurement of cavity pressure and cavity temperature, which are mostly measured by temperature and pressure sensors, such as armored thermocouples and pressure measuring tubes.

[0003] Currently, sensors used to measure the cavity pressure and temperature of aircraft engine air systems are mostly installed using a tilting installation process. During installation, the sensor measuring end and its lead are manually shaped using flat-nose pliers to tilt the sensor measuring end, and a semicircle is machined on the sensor lead. The sensor lead is then fixed to the inner wall of the air system with a spot-welded metal sheet, and measurement is performed through a measurement lead opened on the side wall of the air system. This technical solution has the following drawbacks:

[0004] 1) Manual shaping of the sensor measuring end using flat-nose pliers resulted in deviations in the height and angle of the sensor measuring end from standard requirements, resulting in poor accuracy and consistency in the measurement data during aircraft engine air system testing.

[0005] 2) Manual shaping of the sensor lead using flat-nose pliers resulted in a semicircular shape that deviated from standard requirements, affecting the sensor's installation and positioning on the inner wall of the air system. This, in turn, affected the height and angle of the sensor's measuring end when mounted on the inner wall of the air system, resulting in poor measurement data accuracy and consistency during aircraft engine air system testing.

[0006] 3) Manual shaping of the sensor measuring end and its leads using flat-nose pliers requires repeated bending and adjustment, which is inefficient and can easily damage the sensor.
