Type R thermocouple wire, Pt13%Rh-Pt
Thermocouple wire Type R is a thermocouple junction often used at high temperatures. Type R, Pt13%Rh-Pt shares a lot of characteristics with type S, Pt13%Rh-Pt thermocouple, but type R has a higher Seebeck coefficient than type S. Temperature range of type R, Pt13%Rh-Pt thermocouple wire is -0°C..+1600°C. It is more expensive than type S, Pt10%Rh-Pt thermocouple wire since it contains more Rhodium.
