Rated 5 out of 5 by from Holds up to elevated temperatures Purchased this wire about three weeks ago for an upcoming U.L. test. Insulation held up very well to temperatures of 600 to 800°F. I thought the test conditions, heat/grease/mechanical abuse, would destroy the thermocouples and that they would need to be replaced for each test run. I was wrong. They survived several test runs and are still usable.

Hi, what would be the most sutable type of thermocouple wire to be used for measuring a temperature around -5c to +5c ? I was planning to use the HH-25U or HH12C readout. Is Type T is more accurate than K or J for example?.

Asked by: Paul B
Thank you for your inquiry. At low temperatures, Type T is the most accurate of all thermocouple types.

Hi I am looking at purchasing a spool of TT-K-24-500 and I need it calibrated How do I go about doing this?

Hi, Is the wire compatible with organic/week acidic solution of chemical reaction to measure the temperature of the solution?

Asked by: Pawan
Hi Pawan, The thermocouple alloys may contaminate your process. For this I would recommend HSTC series; hermetically sealed in PFA thermocouples. https://www.omega.com/en-us/temperature-measurement/temperature-wire-sensors/hstc/p/HSTC-TT-20S-65 Best regards, OMEGA

Hi, Is compatible with OM-CP-OCTTEMP-A? Regards

Asked by: Shiro_7789
Hi, thank you for your question. OM-CP-OCTTEMP-A if definitely compatible with type K thermocouples. If you are making your own thermocouples with this wire, please remember to use miniature connectors (like SMPW-K-M) to plug directly into your logger.

How many times it can be used at average temp around 750 °C with insulation of nextel cermaic ? Is it (nextel cermaic) flexible enough to bend & what are effects of high temp around 1000 °C on it?

Asked by: Anonymous1
Thank you for the inquiry. This product has Nextel ceramic fiber which is not suitable for bending applications. The ceramic fibers used in the material become brittle after exposure to high temps. If you must use this material for bending app please consider the following with Inconel overbraid which keeps the fibers in place. https://www.omega.com/en-us/temperature-measurement/temperature-wire-and-cable/thermocouple-wires/p/XC-XS-XT-XL-WIRE Best regards OMEGA
