Description
AWG20 Stranded K-type Thermocouple Wire with PVC Insulation
- 1 yard or multiples of 1 yd in a spool -
This is a stranded k-type thermocouple wire with yellow PVC or vinyl insulation, which is good up to about 105 °C or 221 °F. This k-type thermocouple wire can be used to make your own thermocouples for a wide range of applications, or to make your own K-type thermocouple extension wire.
When you use this double vinyl insulated thermocouple wire to build a K-type thermocouple extension it can transmit the temperature signal over the full K-type thermocouple range, from -300 to 2500 degree Fahrenheit. You just need to use the wire in a section that is below 221 °F, so that the insulation does not melt.
The chromel alumel wire is made to ANSI standard Type K thermocouple specifications. This is a stranded wire with 7 filaments, it is more flexible than a solid wire and therefore especially useful for k-type extension wires.
This is cut to length in multiples of 1 yd, all Type K wire you order will come in one spool.
