Thermocouple types | Depending on the application, thermocouples are made of different metals or metal alloys. These differ in temperature range, linearity and accuracy.

What types of thermocouple are there? 

  • Type J: Material Fe-CuNi (iron-constantan)
  • Type N: Material NiCrSi-NiSi (Nicrosil-Nisil)
  • Type E: Material NiCr-CuNi
  • Type T: Material Cu-CuNi
  • Type R: Material Pt13Rh-Pt
  • Type S: Pt10Rh-Pt
  • Type B: Pt30Rh-Pt6Rh
