Our High-Temperature Type R Thermocouple Cable is built for biotech and pharmaceutical applications where precision and durability are critical. Using platinum-rhodium conductors for Type R thermocouples, it delivers accurate temperature readings in high-heat environments like autoclaves and reactors. We offer insulation options like ceramic fiber or high-grade fiberglass, rated up to 1600°F (870°C), so it can handle the toughest conditions without breaking a sweat. Whether you’re running a sterile lab or a pharmaceutical production line, our cable keeps your temperature data spot-on.
The stranded conductor design makes it flexible for easy installation in complex setups, while the aluminum foil shielding with a drain wire blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) for clean signals. You can customize gauge sizes, insulation types, and lengths to fit your exact needs. Designed to meet IEC 60584 and ANSI MC96.1 standards, our Type R cable is a reliable choice for high-stakes applications where accuracy can’t be compromised.
