Thermocouples
The thermocouples installed in our furnaces are pre-calibrated. We mostly use K-type, B-type and C-type thermocouples in low-, mid- and high-temperature furnaces. Please find below the typical specifications of these thermocouples for information.
| Type | Conductors | Temp. Range | Tolerance |
|---|---|---|---|
| K | Positive: Ni - Cr Negative: Ni - Al | from -100°C to 293°C from 293°C to 1260°C | ±2°C ±0.75% of the temperature |
| N | Positive: Ni - Cr - Si Negative: Ni - Si | from 0°C to 293°C from 293°C to 1250°C | ±2.2°C ±0.75% of the temperature |
| B | Positive: Pt - 30% Rh Negative: Pt - 6% Rh | 870°C to 1700°C | ±0.5% of the temperature |
| C | Positive: W - 5% Re Negative: W - 25% Re | from 0°C to 426°C from 426°C to 2315°C | ±4.4°C ±1% of the temperature |
