Rare Metal High Temperature Thermocouples

Special Options

All our platinum thermocouples are custom-made, as such, we are able to tailor your sensors exactly to your requirements. There are many options available including:

Special materials

Materials which would work best in your process are available on request.

Pressure testing/tight

Pressure testing can be conducted and pressure tight designs are available.

Special coatings

Wear and chemical resistant coatings can be applied to sensors e.g. ACT™.

Lining sheaths

Ceramic lining sheaths can be added to increase heat resistance.

Calibration

Full UKAS or UKAS traceable calibration is available. AMS 2750 F to full or traceable calibration is available.

Process Fittings

Flange or compression fittings can be added such as an adjustable or welded flange on shank

Material Certificates

Material certificates are available on request.

Duplex & Triplex

Thermocouples can be supply duplex or triplex instead of simplex.

Cabling

High temperature compensating cable can be supplied fitted to sensor.

Reduced tip options

Reduced hot junction for fast response or cost saving.

Rare Metal High Temperature Thermocouple Types

There are three types of rare metal thermocouple all made from alloys of platinum and rhodium with slightly different characteristics and specifications.

Type R & Type S Thermocouple

UK and European Standard.

Type B Thermocouple

Very high max temperature.

UK Manufactured Rare Metal Thermocouples

Rare Metal thermocouples are made from conductors containing platinum and rhodium alloys and are suited for measuring high temperatures up to +1700°C. They are a rugged design, suited for tough industrial use. We manufacture and design rare metal thermocouple assemblies. Please see our designs below.
