Description The correct thermocouple sensor for the target temperature range and application is a critical element of your validation system. Kaye offers a range of Type T insulated thermocouple wires including an Ultra-Premium Autobond construction that eliminates the outer Teflon jacket and molds the inner conductors to prevent moisture and steam leakage. Options include Ultra-Premium Autobond, Ultra-Premium with Kapton jacket and a cost-effective Premium grade.
- Autobond construction removes outer Teflon jacket to prevent moisture/steam ingress.
- Ultra-Premium grade produced for maximum purity and uniformity.
- Premium grade available for less critical applications at a lower cost.
- Quality control: every spool tested and shipped with a Certificate of Conformance to traceable specifications.
- Insulated Type T wires offered in 3-strand or 7-strand constructions; supplied uncut on spools or cut to length with Teflon tips.
