Thermocouple Wire
This wire is used for the production of thermocouples, which are used to measure temperatures where accuracy over a wide temperature range is needed. Their resistance to corrosion makes them the material of choice in high-temperature applications like glass melting, iron and steel production, and chemical manufacturing.
S wire consists of platinum and a Pt10Rh conductor, and is deployed in applications where temperatures reach 1600° C. It can be used bare, in a clean oxidizing atmosphere without any forced airflow.
R wire consists of platinum and a Pt13Rh conductor. It shares the characteristics of type S wire, but has a higher thermoelectric output.
B wire consists of Pt6Rh and a Pt30Rh. Predominately used in glass manufacturing processes, it can withstand temperatures of up to 1800° C.
The calibration is based on the ITS90 or IPTS68 standards.
