Description
Stranded T-type Thermocouple Wire with PVC Insulation
- 10 yard or multiples of 10 yard -
This is a T-type thermocouple wire with blue PVC insulation, which is good up to about 105 C or 221 F. This T-type thermocouple wire can be used to make your own thermocouples for a wide range of applications, or to make your own extension wire. T-type thermocouples are frequently used to measure cold and ultra cold temperatures in cryogenic application. This T-type thermocoule wire can measure the temperature of liquid nitrogen, dry ice and other cooling fluids used in cryogenics and other cold applications. The copper constantan wire is made to standard T-type thermocouple specifications. This is a stranded wire with 7 filaments, it is more flexible than a solid wire and therefore especially useful for flexible T-type extension wires and pulling T-type thermocouple wire in conduit. It is sold in 10 yard increments, so if you order 2 units of this, you will receive a single 20 yard long wire.
This wire can be used to make extension wires, in this case it can transmit temperature signals up to 750 °F (400 °C). The wire insulation just should not be exposed to temperatures higher than about 220 °F (105 °C), because the PVC will start to soften and melt. You would use a T-type thermocouple with fiberglass, FEP or stainless steel insulation in the hot zone and run that to a colder spot, and from there transmit the signal using the cheaper wire with PVC insulation.
