THERMOCOUPLE TEMPERATURE SENSOR

A Thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature up to 1800 °C. There are many  types of thermocouples, each with its own unique characteristics in terms of temperature  range, durability, vibration resistance, chemical resistance, and application compatibility.

Types of Thermocouples:

Before discussing the various types of thermocouples, it should be noted that a thermocouple is often enclosed in a protective sheath to isolate it from the local atmosphere. This protective sheath drastically reduces the effects of corrosion.

1.Type K Thermocouple (Nickel-Chromium / Nickel-Alumel): The type K is the most common type of thermocouple. It’s inexpensive, accurate, reliable, and has a wide temperature range.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, –454 to 2,300F (–270 to 1260C) Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)

2. Type J Thermocouple (Iron/Constantan): The type J is also very common. It has a smaller temperature range and a shorter lifespan at higher temperatures than the Type K. It is equivalent to the Type K in terms of expense and reliability.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, -346 to 1,400F (-210 to 760C) Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)
3. Type T Thermocouple (Copper/Constantan): The Type T is a very stable thermocouple and is often used in extremely low temperature applications such as cryogenics or ultra low freezers.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, -454 to 700F (-270 to 370C) Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)
4.Type E Thermocouple (Nickel-Chromium/Constantan): The Type E has a stronger signal & higher accuracy than the Type K or Type J at moderate temperature ranges of 1,000F and lower. See temperature chart (linked) for details.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, -454 to 1600F (-270 to 870C) Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)
5. Type N Thermocouple (Nicrosil / Nisil): The Type N shares the same accuracy and temperature limits as the Type K. The type N is slightly more expensive.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, -454 to 2300F (-270 to 392C) Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)

NOBLE METAL THERMOCOUPLES (Type S,R, & B): 

Noble Metal Thermocouples are selected for their ability to withstand extremely high temperatures while maintaining their accuracy and lifespan. They are considerably more expensive than Base Metal Thermocouples.

6. Type S Thermocouple (Platinum Rhodium – 10% / Platinum): The Type S is used in very high temperature applications. It is commonly found in the BioTech and Pharmaceutical industries. It is sometimes used in lower temperature applications because of its high accuracy and stability.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, -58 to 2700F (-50 to 1480C)
Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)
7.Type R Thermocouple (Platinum Rhodium -13% / Platinum): The Type R is used in very high temperature applications. It has a higher percentage of Rhodium than the Type S, which makes it more expensive. The Type R is very similar to the Type S in terms of performance. It is sometimes used in lower temperature applications because of its high accuracy and stability.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, -58 to 2700F (-50 to 1480C)
Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)
8.Type B Thermocouple (Platinum Rhodium – 30% / Platinum Rhodium – 6%): The Type B thermocouple is used in extremely high temperature applications. It has the highest temperature limit of all of the thermocouples listed above. It maintains a high level of accuracy and stability at very high temperatures.

Temperature Range:

Thermocouple grade wire, 32 to 3100F (0 to 1700C) Extension wire, 32 to 212F (0 to 100C)

PTFE INSULATED WIRES & CABLES

PTFE Insulated wires and cables are divided into six sub-groups according to the construction and applications.  The common features are:

PTFE Insulated wires and cables are divided into six sub-groups according to the construction and applications.  The common features are:

Conductors

  • Silver Plated Copper (SPC) for use up to 200°C (minimum 1 micron silver coating as per ASTM-B-298)
  • Nickel Plated Copper (NPC) up to 260°C (minimum 1.25 micron nickel coating as per ASTM-B-355)
  • Silver Plated High Strength Copper Alloy (SPHSCA) for mechanical strength in fine cross-sections and for superior flex-life (somewhat lower conductivity than copper) generally as per ASTM-B-624
  • Pure Nickel for use up beyond 260°C; very high resistance to corrosion; DC resistance about 6 times that of copper at 20°C
  • Resistance alloys for Thermo-Couple applications
  • Silver Plated Copper Clad Steel (SPCCS) commonly used for RF coaxial cables) as per ASTM-B-501
  • Spiral multi-strands on glass-fibre cord for high linear resistance — generally for heating applications
  • Plain copper or Tinned copper can not be used due to high-temperature processing and applications; tin melts and flows into the interstices of stranding to make the conductor inflexible; copper tends to oxidize and become brittle

Sizes/Strandings

  • Single strands from 0.05 to 1.02 mm (0.002″ to 0.040″), or more
  • 7, 19, 37, 61 true concentric strands, or 133 strands rope-lay (19 x 7)
  • Even AWG sizes from AWG 34 to AWG 6 (AWG 4 under development)
  • Odd AWG sizes and other type of strandings/bunchings also available
  • Integrated conductor facilityensures tighter control on resistance, diameter, finish etc.
  • For further details, please refer to size table

Insulation/Dielectricis always PTFE (Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene CF4) which is the safest, cleanest, and most stable fluoro-carbon.  Click here for Properties of PTFE.  Multi-lap tape-wrapped sintered for

  • 250 V AC RMS (so called Type ET with nominal 0.17 mm radial wall thickness in 3 layers
  • 600 V AC RMS (Type E, 0.25 mm – 0.010″ – nominal radial wall)
  • 1000 V AC RMS (Type EE, 0.38 mm – 0.015″ – nominal radial wall)
