Description

Detailed Overview

This is a premium 100-meter roll of Grade A K-Type Thermocouple Wire, known for its hard construction and high maximum working temperature of 800C. The two core conductors are insulated with high-temperature glass braid. This wire is the essential sensor material used to convert the thermal energy at the hot junction into an accurate electrical millivolt signal for temperature control (Supplier: Incertech).


Grade A Accuracy for Critical High-Temperature Measurement


In critical Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) and stress relieving, highly accurate temperature sensing is mandatory. This Grade A K-Type wire provides superior accuracy within established tolerances. Its high-temperature glass braid insulation makes it suitable for direct placement near or on the heated workpiece (up to 800C). By converting heat to a precise mV signal, it enables temperature controllers and recorders to accurately document and control the entire thermal cycle.


Features

  • Accuracy Grade: Grade A (Highest Accuracy).
  • Temperature Rating: Maximum working temperature of 800C.
  • Insulation: High-temperature glass braid for heat resistance.
  • Construction: Hard wire construction for stability and robustness.
  • Function: Converts thermal energy to a precise millivolt signal.

Primary Use

Manufacturing thermocouples for direct attachment to components in high-temperature environments (up to 800C) during welding, preheating, and Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT).

FAQ

What does ‘Grade A’ accuracy mean?

Grade A is a classification denoting a tighter tolerance on the wire’s millivolt output compared to standard or Grade B wire, ensuring a higher level of measurement accuracy across the temperature range.

Why is this described as ‘hard’ wire?

‘Hard’ refers to a stiffer, less pliable wire construction compared to ‘soft’ or fine-strand wire. This makes it more suitable for being held rigidly in place or for applications where mechanical stability is needed.

Is the glass braid insulation susceptible to water damage?

Yes, while the glass braid is high-temperature resistant, it is porous and will absorb water, which can potentially cause a temporary short circuit. It should be kept dry or protected in wet conditions.
