As a leader in temperature sensing solutions, we’re proud to offer our Type S noble metal thermocouple wire, designed for precision and reliability in the toughest high-temperature environments. Let’s dive into what makes this product stand out, explore the industries it serves, and highlight why our wire is the go-to choice for professionals who demand accuracy.
Our Type S thermocouple wire is crafted from premium materials: a positive leg of platinum with 10% rhodium and a negative leg of pure platinum. This noble metal combo delivers exceptional stability and accuracy, making it perfect for high-temperature calibration up to 2,912°F (1,600°C) continuously, and even 3,092°F (1,700°C) for short bursts. With a special limits of error tolerance of ±0.6°C or 0.1%, it’s one of the most precise options out there. We pair it with ceramic or alumina protection tubes to ensure durability in harsh conditions, like oxidizing or inert atmospheres. It’s not just a wire—it’s a lifeline for processes where every degree counts.
