R Type Thermocouple Sensors

Key Features

High-Temperature Measurement: Designed for measuring extremely high temperatures, operating well within a range of 0 to 1600°C.

Noble Metal Construction: Made from a combination of platinum and platinum-rhodium alloys, which provides significant endurance and stability at very high temperatures.

High Accuracy & Stability: Known for its high precision and stability in high-temperature process conditions, making it suitable for demanding applications.

High Cost: Due to the use of noble metals, Type R thermocouples are more expensive than general-purpose thermocouples.

Applications: Frequently used in industrial settings such as glass manufacturing, metallurgy, and heat treatment processes where precise, high-temperature readings are essential.

Sensitivity to Contaminants: Susceptible to contamination from elements like hydrogen, sulfur, and other atomic impurities, which can lead to calibration drift and premature failure.
