What are Type C Thermocouples?

Type C Thermocouples are made from Tungsten Rhenium alloys and designed for extreme high temperatures up to 4,200°F (2315°C). The thermocouple materials must be utilized in a hydrogen, inert, or vacuum atmospheres to prevent failure from oxidation.
Maximum Temperature Range is influenced by bare wire diameters, protective sheaths and to small degree the attached connectors or extension wire leads.
Wire Diameters - Thermocouple Grade Tungsten-Rhenium

Type C Connectors - Click to View - the pin materials are compensating alloys. The pins are not made from Tungsten-Rhenium materials.

Thermoplastic body design is rated 400°F (200°C)
High Temperature Thermoset design 650°F (350°C)
Ultra High Temperature Thermoset 800°F (425°C) and Intermittent capabilities at 1000°F (540°C)
Ceramic 1200 °F (650 °C)

C Type Wire and Cable - materials are compensating alloys. The wire is not made from Tungsten-Rhenium materials

Extension Grade Bare Wire follows thermocouple curve to within ± 0.110 millivolts from 32°F to 1600°F.
If the extension wire is exposed to temperatures over 400°F (200°C) the transfer error could be more than 0.100 millivolts tolerance

Application Industries - include semiconductor processing and equipment, military and defense testing, research, high temperature materials manufacturing, aerospace, power generation and others.
