PTFE Insulated Shielded Thermocouple Wire



PTFE Insulation becomes an excellent solution where chemical fumes & other liquids make all type of Insulation vulnerable as it is chemically inert to most of industrial chemicals. It has outstanding mechanical & electrical properties and has temperature range from -65 °C to 260 °C. It is flame retardant and non propagating in fire conditions. PTFE tape are wrapped on the conductor and sintered.

Cable for Type of THERMOCOUPLE GRADE CALIBRATION: T, J, K, E, N, R, S, B

Thermal Accuracy conforms to AMERICAN Limits of Error ASTM E 230 – ANSI MC 96.1 & IEC Thermal Tolerance Class EN 60584 – 2.
