Product Specification

NiCr-CuNi Type E Constantan Thermocouple Extension Wire for Precise Temperature Measurements

NiCr-CuNi Type E Constantan Thermocouple Extension Wire is a type of thermocouple wire used for temperature measurement in various industrial and scientific applications. The positive leg (NiCr) is made of nickel-chromium alloy, which provides stability and resistance to high temperatures.The negative leg (CuNi), also known as Constantan, is a copper-nickel alloy that complements the NiCr alloy.Type E thermocouples are designed to operate within a broad temperature range, from -200°C to 900°C for short-term measurements and 0°C to 750°C for continuous use.Type E thermocouples are known for their high sensitivity and accuracy, making them suitable for detecting small temperature changes.They produce a relatively high thermoelectric voltage (EMF), which is beneficial for applications requiring high precision.Type E thermocouples are suitable for use in oxidizing and inert atmospheres but should not be used in reducing atmospheres or environments containing sulfurous gases.The NiCr alloy has a high melting point and good mechanical strength, while the CuNi alloy offers good electrical conductivity.The wires are stranded to provide flexibility and are often protected by a sheath material for added durability.Type E thermocouples are used in a variety of applications, including industrial furnaces, kilns, cryogenics, and precision scientific measurements.Manufactured to comply with international standards such as IEC 60584-1, ensuring reliability and consistency.While Type E thermocouples do not have a specific compensating wire defined in the DIN EN 60584-3 standard, extension wires can be used to extend the range of the thermocouple without affecting its performance.

In summary, NiCr-CuNi Type E Constantan Thermocouple Extension Wire is a robust and sensitive tool for temperature measurement, particularly in environments with moderate to high temperatures.

Color codes of thermocouple ( E type )

Type E thermocouple has the largest EMF output and highest sensitivity, so it is ideal for measuring small temperature change. It also has good stability in the low temperature range up to 300 ℃ , and good property of anti-corrosion in humidity atmosphere. It is recommended for oxidizing or inert atmospheres, but cannot be used directly in reducing atmosphere and atmosphere with sulphur gases.
