Type C Thermocouples - Items tagged as "Wire-tc-and-rtd"
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
-
.010" (30 Gage) to .020" (24 Gage) 32° to 4200°F (0°C to 2315°C)
- .005" (36 Gage) 32°F to 3600°F (0°C to 1980°C)
- .003" (40 Gage) 32°F to 3400°F (0°C to 1870°C)
- Protective Sheaths, Tubes and Insulators
