Our Type B platinum Thermocouple s are built to tackle the extreme heat of ultra-high temperature metallurgy. Crafted with platinum and rhodium (30%/6%), these sensors handle temperatures up to 1700°C with a tight ±0.5% accuracy, making them perfect for steel forging, alloy smelting, and other intense processes. Their high-purity alumina or ceramic sheaths stand up to oxidation and thermal shock, ensuring rock-solid performance in the harshest furnaces. We customize every detail—probe length, sheath material, connectors—to fit your specific setup, giving you precise control over your metallurgical operations.
The metallurgy industry is on fire, driven by demand for advanced alloys in aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors. Thermocouples are critical for precise temperature control in furnaces to achieve the right material properties. Industry trends show a shift toward automation, with IoT-enabled sensors delivering real-time data for smarter process control. High-temperature, high-accuracy thermocouples are in demand as furnaces push past 1600°C for specialty metals. Standards like AMS2750G and ISO 9001 require reliable sensors to meet strict quality and safety guidelines. Our Type B thermocouples are designed to keep pace with these high-stakes demands.
Our Type B thermocouples are the go-to for ultra-high temperature metallurgy. They monitor furnace temperatures during steel forging, titanium alloy production, and other high-heat processes, ensuring metals meet exact specifications. In glass manufacturing, they help control melting for high-quality outputs like optical glass. They’re also used in ceramics for sintering and in research labs for extreme-temperature experiments. Their stability in oxidizing or inert environments makes them versatile for any industry needing reliable performance at scorching temperatures.
