Supplied with 3.1 and calibration certificates
Type R mineral insulated thermocouple cable
Type R mineral insulated thermocouple cable is designed for accurate and stable temperature measurement from 0°C to 1600°C. Type R offers good stability and a long service life in high-temperature applications and performs particularly well in oxidising and inert atmospheres. Typical applications include glass, ceramics, metallurgy, laboratories and thermocouple calibration.

When should you use Type R MI thermocouple cable?
Type R thermocouples are especially valued for their long service life and stability, performing exceptionally well in oxidizing or inert atmospheres. However, similar to type S thermocouples, they may experience drift when used over extended periods at high temperatures.
Due to these characteristics, Type R thermocouples find widespread use in industries that require precise temperature control, such as glass, ceramics, and metallurgy. They are also frequently used in laboratory settings and for calibrating other thermocouples, where their accuracy and stability are essential.
Type R is also available in thermocouple bare wire.
