(Platinum Rhodium -13% / Platinum) : The Type R is
used in very high temperature applications. It has a higher
percentage of Rhodium than the Type S, which makes it more
expensive. The Type R is very similar to the Type S in terms of
performance. It is sometimes used in lower temperature applications
because of its high accuracy and stability. Type R has a slightly
higher output and improved stability over the type S.
Accuracy (whichever is greater) :
Standard: +/- 1.5C or +/- .25%
Special Limits of Error: +/- 0.6C or 0.1%
Technical Details :
Type: R
Protection TUBES: Ceramic RECRYSTALISED, 310 SS
ELEMENTS: Simplex / Duplex / Multipoints
(Platinum Rhodium – 30% / Platinum Rhodium – 6%):
The Type B thermocouple is used in extremely high temperature
applications. It has the highest temperature limit of all of the
thermocouples listed above. It maintains a high level of accuracy
and stability at very high temperatures. The type B has a lower
output than the other noble metals (type R & type S) at temperatures
below 1,112F (600C).
Accuracy (whichever is greater) :
Standard: +/- 0.5%
Special Limits of Error: +/- 0.6C or 0.1%
Special Limits of Error: +/- 0.25%
Technical Details :
Type: B
Protection TUBES: Ceramic RECRYSTALISED, 310 SS
ELEMENTS: Simplex / Duplex / Multipoints
Type S Thermocouple (Platinum Rhodium - 10% /
Platinum): The Type S is used in very high temperature
applications. It is commonly found in the BioTech and
Pharmaceutical industries. It is sometimes used in lower
temperature applications because of its high accuracy and
stability. The type S is often used with a ceramic protection
tube.
