Type E mineral insulated thermocouple cable
Type E, NiCr-CuNi thermocouple is a high-accuracy thermocouple for a moderate temperature range. In general, it has a smaller temperature range compared to other thermocouple junctions: -270°C to +900°C. Type E, NiCr-CuNi mineral insulated cables are well suited for cryogenic use due to the high output 68 µV/°C. Kamet stocks and distributes world known Okazaki’s AerOpak® mineral insulated cable.
