K Type Bare Wire High Oxidation Resistance 10-38 Swg Thermocouple Extension
Shanghai Tankii Alloy Material Co., Ltd. offers Tankii 10~38 SWG K type thermocouple element bare wire. This NiCr-Ni/NiAl (Type K) thermocouple wire is widely used in basemetal thermocouples, especially at temperatures above 500°C. It boasts strong resistance to oxidation compared to other base metal thermocouples, providing high EMF against Platinum 67, excellent temperature accuracy, sensitivity, and stability, all at a low cost.
Recommended for oxidizing or inert atmospheres, this thermocouple wire should not be used in alternatively oxidizing and reducing atmospheres, atmospheres with *** gases, long periods in a vacuum, or low oxidizing atmospheres like hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
NiCr-NiAl thermocouple wire can be customized to meet customers' specific chemical composition requirements. It is available with insulation materials such as PVC, PTFE, FB, or as per customer specifications.

- Type K: Most commonly used with operating range from -200°C to +1260°C. Offers better oxidation resistance (except vs Type N). Not recommended for sulphurous atmospheres without protection.
- Type N: Provides longer life, better high temperature exposure, and improved EMF drift reliability.
- Type E: Highest EMF output per degree among standard thermocouples.
- Type J: Cost-effective with high EMF output. Suitable for oxidizing conditions up to 760°C.
- Type T: Suitable for oxidizing, reducing inert atmosphere or vacuum applications.
