Thermocouple Wire
Thermocouple wire is used in the construction of a thermocouple temperature sensor or the sensing point (or probe part) of the thermocouple. It performs even in exceptionally high service temperatures. There are multiple types and grades of thermocouple wire. Each type of thermocouple wire has a specific combination of metal alloys. This combination is what defines the type of thermocouple. Our stock of thermocouple wire includes a full range of insulation and conductor types.
FEP, TFE, PFA, Fiberglass, and CERAMAFLEX thermocouple wire each function exceptionally well as a high-temperature cable in many applications. FEP Wire and PFA Insulated Thermocouple Wire may be used as general use extension wire. TFE Wire may be used for aircraft and petroleum processing. Fiberglass Wire is ideal for general applications requiring moderate abrasion, moisture resistance, and wide temperature capabilities. CERAMAFLEX Wire is an excellent probe in high-temperature applications.
Although every high-temperature cable we stock operates well in high-temperature environments, some cables can withstand higher temperatures than others. Service temperatures (maximum temperatures) for the high-temperature cable listed above range from 400°F to 2200°F. CERAMAFLEX may even be used intermittently in temperatures up to 2600°F.
When investigating the best high-temperature cable for your requirements, be sure to examine conductor listings. For thermocouple wire, conductors are designated by a "Type" labeling that refers to the materials used in the wire.
If you have any questions about any of these products, please contact an Allied Wire representative. We are happy to help find a high-temperature cable that meets your requirements.
