Type N Thermocouple Wire pairs nicrosil (a nickel-chromium-silicon alloy) with nisil (a nickel-silicon alloy) to create a thermocouple that excels at measuring temperatures from -270°C to 1300°C. Its high stability and resistance to oxidation make it perfect for demanding high-temperature applications, like gas turbines or industrial furnaces. With a sensitivity of ~39 µV/°C, it’s built for precision in environments where reliability is critical.
We produce our Type N wire at our ISO9001-certified facility in Changzhou, using advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure consistent quality. Each wire is tested to meet ANSI/ASTM E230 standards, and we offer diameters from 0.2mm to 3.2mm in bare, insulated, or shielded forms. Need custom insulation like fiberglass or ceramic for extreme conditions? We’ve got you covered with tailored solutions.
