Richards Thermocouple and Temperature Sensor Catalog 16

Type E - Insulated Wire

Insulated thermocouple wire can be supplied on spools, coils, or in element form. Wire orders will be spooled plus or minus 10% of the total

quantity unless otherwise specified by the customer. Thermocouple elements can also be made from any of the insulated wires shown below.

Elements made from wire with fiberglass insulation are low cost, flexible, and can be used either with or without protection tubes depending

upon the atmosphere in which they are installed. Insulated thermocouple wire is also used to manufacture elements for miniature thermocouple

assemblies due to ease of replacement and low cost. Elements are nominal length plus two inches for leads (unless otherwise indicated in fig-

ures), and butt welded is standard construction. If you require spooled wire just specify the part number and the footage. If you are ordering a

element, specify the part number followed by the overall length in inches. The insulated thermocouple wire part numbers below, specify the wire

gauge, type, insulation material and length.

24K-GG

Thermocouple example:

24K-GG-24

(24 inch thermocouple)

Notes:

Special limits can be specified by doubling the type letter in the part number.

Example:

24KK-GG-24

If you prefer a fiberglass wrap style of insulation on the single wires, add a “

” to the part number

Example:

24KK-WGG-24

Stainless steel Over Braid is available for many wires. It is used to protect from abrasion and fraying of wires,

and, to use as an electric shielding when grounded. Eight is the designation for 304 Stainless Steel - “

OB8

”;

and nine is the designation for alloy 600 - “

OB9

”. They are just added to the end of the part number.

Example:

20J-GG-OB8

“

” added to the end of the part number means the insulation is a Tight Braid.
