Key Features
High Accuracy & Stability: Type S thermocouples offer excellent precision and consistent, stable readings over long periods, even at extreme temperatures.
Wide Temperature Range: They are suitable for measuring both moderately high and very high temperatures, with a maximum continuous operating temperature of around 1600°C (2912°F).
Long Service Life: The platinum-rhodium alloy construction provides good resistance to corrosion and oxidation, contributing to a long operational life.
Environmental Resistance: They perform well in oxidizing and inert atmospheres, though they require protection in reducing atmospheres.
Precision & Calibration: Historically, Type S thermocouples have been used as an international standard for temperature scales, highlighting their high reliability and accuracy.
