Type J Thermocouple Wire with PFA Insulation

Type J Thermocouple Wire with PFA Insulation

Type J Thermocouple Wire with PFA Insulation

  • Type J thermocouple wire with PFA insulation can have excellent 1.1 F (0.5 C) Accuracy in the 212 to 500°F (100 to 260°C) temperature range
  • Industries and Applications who commonly use Type J are automotive testing, heat treating of aluminum, curing composites, vacuum applications and the overall plastics processing
  • Wire Sizes can range from fine diameter 40 gage (0.003") to the very large rugged 14 gage diameter (0.064"), although most applications utilize a narrower range of 30 gage (0.010") to 20 gage (0.032")
  • PFA Insulation is a Plastic Fluoropolymer and has a temperature insulation range from below zero to 500°F (260°C), it works well in wet and corrosive environments, with excellent resistance to chemicals.
  • Type J bare thermocouple wire consists of the Positive wire made of Iron and the Negative wire made of Constantan (Nickel Copper alloy)
  • ANSI (American National Standard Institute) Color Code for Type J Thermocouple wire is White on the positive wire and Red on the Negative Wire. 
  • The Positive Iron wire in the Type J thermocouple is susceptible to Corrosion and for the sensor to function properly in wet and or corrosive applications the wire should be completely encased or protected by the plastic insulation.
