Our Type B Thermocouple wire is engineered for the toughest, hottest industrial environments, delivering unmatched reliability where extreme temperatures are the norm. This noble metal wire is built to handle the heat while keeping your measurements spot-on. Let’s dive into what makes our Type B wire stand out, explore the industries it powers, and show why we’re the best choice for ultra-high temperature monitoring.
Product Introduction
Crafted with platinum-30% rhodium for the positive leg and platinum-6% rhodium for the negative leg, our Type B thermocouple wire is designed for ultra-high temperature applications, handling continuous use from 1,600°F to 3,100°F (870°C to 1,700°C) and short-term peaks up to 3,380°F (1,860°C). With a special limits of error tolerance of ±0.5%, it delivers precision in the most demanding conditions. We pair it with ceramic or alumina insulation to ensure durability in extreme heat, making it perfect for oxidizing or inert atmospheres. This wire is your go-to for processes where failure isn’t an option.
