Technical Deep Dive: What Makes Type N Tick?

Let’s get nerdy for a moment. Type N Thermocouple Wire pairs nicrosil (positive leg) with nisil (negative leg), creating a thermocouple with a sensitivity of ~39 µV/°C. This pairing delivers reliable voltage output for accurate temperature readings. Here’s the breakdown:

• Temperature Range: Measures from -270°C to 1300°C, with top performance in high-temperature oxidizing environments.

• Accuracy: Offers ±2.2°C or ±0.75% above 0°C, making it ideal for precision applications.

• Oxidation Resistance: Excels in oxidizing atmospheres, with protective sheathing recommended for extreme conditions.

• Physical Properties: Available in wire diameters from 0.2mm to 3.2mm, with insulation options like fiberglass, ceramic, or Teflon for added durability.

For installation, ensure proper polarity (nicrosil is positive, nisil is negative) to avoid errors. Our team can provide detailed guidelines on calibration, shielding, and sheathing to optimize performance.
