Type E Thermocouple Wire pairs chromel (a nickel-chromium alloy) with constantan (a copper-nickel alloy) to create a thermocouple that’s perfect for measuring temperatures from -270°C to 870°C. Its non-magnetic properties and high sensitivity (~68 µV/°C) make it a standout for applications where magnetic interference could skew results, like lab experiments or aerospace testing. Whether you’re working in cryogenic systems or moderate-temperature industrial processes, Type E delivers pinpoint accuracy.
We produce our Type E 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 Teflon or fiberglass for extra protection? We’ve got you covered with tailored solutions.
