What’s In The Box

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.
