High Temperature Measurement – Thermocouple Wire

Thermocouples consist essentially of two strips or wires made of different metals and joined at one end. Changes in the temperature at that juncture induce a change in electromotive force (emf) between the other ends. As temperature goes up, this output emf of the thermocouple rises, though not necessarily linearly.

Concept Alloys produces and distributes an array of thermocouple wire for temperatures up to 4200°F  –

• Type C Wire – Tungsten 5% Rhenium / Tungsten 26% Rhenium wire (W5Re/W26Re)
• Type D Wire – Tungsten 3% Rhenium / Tungsten 25% Rhenium wire (W3Re/W25Re)
• Type G Wire – Pure Tungsten / Tungsten 26% Rhenium wire (W/W26Re)
• Type K Wire – Chromel / Alumel wire
• Type C Extension Wire – 405 / 426 Alloy wire
