Thermocouples for temperature measurement up to 1,700 °C

Thermocouples are temperature sensors that generate a voltage directly dependent on temperature. Compared to resistance thermometers, they are particularly suited for high temperatures up to 1,700 °C. Instrument designs from mineral-insulated sheathed cable are very resistant against extremely high vibration loads (depending on instrument model, sensor element and wetted materials). The accuracy classes 1 and 2 apply for thermocouples in accordance with IEC 60584 as well as the standard and special classes in accordance with ASTM E230.

Whether in the high-pressure range, e.g. for use in polyethylene synthesis, or as multipoint thermocouple for the chemical industry. The wide WIKA product portfolio offers a multitude of customer-specific solutions.
