Thermocouple Wire Fine Diameter Platinum-Rhodium
SPPL / SP10 / SP13 / SP6 / SP30 / EXTT / EXGG / EXPP

 
  • Matched Pairs
  • Types S, R, and B
  • For high resistance to oxidation and corrosion at high temperatures, NEWPORT offers the highest quality uninsulated wire for three types of “noble metal” thermocouples.

    They are:
    Type S: Platinum (–) vs.Platinum 10% Rhodium (+)
    Type R: Platinum (–) vs.Platinum 13% Rhod36ium (+)
    Type B: Platinum 6% Rhodium (–) vs.Platinum 30% Rhodium (+)

    Types R and S are recommended for continuous use in oxidizing or inert atmospheres up to 2550°F (1398°C) or short term exposures to 2700°F (1482°C). Type B is rated for continuous use up to 3100°F (1704°C) in oxidizing or inert atmospheres. When operating near these maximum temperatures, the heavier gage wire sizes are recommended.

    All three thermocouple types can be used in a vacuum for short periods of time. Type B offers greater stability in such applications. None should be used in reducing atmospheres or in atmospheres containing metallic or non-metallic vapors unless protected by non-metallic protection tubes. Do not insert directly into metallic protection tubes.

    Sizes range from 0.001 to 0.032" (0.025 to 0.812 mm) diameter. When requested, wire is supplied in matched pairs which meet or exceed standard limits of error. Special-limits-of-error wire is supplied on request and must be ordered as matched pairs.

    Thermocouple Wire - Fine Diameter Tungsten-Rhenium
    Tungsten-Rhenium thermocouple alloy combinations were developed to meet the need for measuring ultra-high temperatures in the 4200°F (2315°C) range.

    NEWPORT makes available three widely used Tungsten-Rhenium thermocouple alloy combinations:

    Type G: Tungsten (+) vs. Tungsten 26% Rhenium (–)
    Type C: Tungsten 5% Rhenium (+) vs. Tungsten 26% Rhenium (–)
    Type D: Tungsten 3% Rhenium (+) vs. Tungsten 25% Rhenium (–)

  • Matched Pairs
  • Calibrated Accuracy Guaranteed
  • Melting Point in Excess of 4200°F (2315°C)

    In order to guarantee the limits of error, NEWPORT sells Tungsten-Rhenium thermocouple wire only in matched pairs by the double foot. Because of the inherent brittleness of unalloyed Tungsten, Rhenium has been added to the positive leg of types C and D to improve handling characteristics. The average emf of types C and D is slightly less than that of the unalloyed type G.

    All three thermocouple combinations can be used to 4200°F (2315°C) in hydrogen or inert gas atmospheres and in a vacuum. They undergo rapid deterioration under oxidizing conditions and should not be used in air or atmospheres containing oxygen. Available from stock; other wire sizes and large quantities available by quotation. Consult Special Quotations Department.
