Description
Precision thermocouples made of precious metal (type R thermocouple). Optimised for applications with small immersion depths, e.g. in temperature block calibrators.
industrial type R thermocouple
Optimised for use with small immersion depths
Small inhomogeneity due to thermally treated thermowires
Thin measuring point for fast response times
Ideal for industrial use, e.g. in block calibrators
The type R thermocouple was specifically developed as a temperature standard for industrial calibrations and temperature measurements. It is made of the same high-quality thermocouple material as the type R/ type S precision thermocouple. However, the design of the type R thermocouple is specially adapted to industrial requirements. For example, the measuring point is made from a smaller thermowell. These small dimensions allow the type R thermocouple to be used as a temperature standard for calibration with block calibrators, for example. As a further adaptation to industrial conditions, an external reference junction can optionally be dispensed with and Type R thermocouple mini plugs can be used instead.
The thermocouples are supplied as standard with a miniature connector made of Class 1 thermocouple material – the reference junction is thus located directly at the connector, where the transition from thermocouple material to copper occurs. A separate reference junction is not required.
