Type K Thermocouple Wire (2×0.65mm, Fiberglass Insulation)
Tankii Type K 2×0.65mm thermocouple cable with glass fiber insulation is a high-temperature-resistant temperature signal transmission component designed for industrial sensing applications. Composed of Chromel (NiCr10, positive electrode) and Alumel (NiAl3, negative electrode) conductors with double-layer fiberglass insulation, this precision-engineered wire delivers stable thermoelectric performance across demanding temperature ranges.
Standard Designations & Core Material Foundation
- Thermocouple Type: Type K (Chromel/Alumel, base metal thermocouple; compliant with IEC 60584-2 Class 1)
- Key Specification: 2×0.65mm (dual conductors, each 0.65mm diameter); fiberglass insulation (single layer thickness 0.4mm, braiding density ≥95%)
- Chemical Composition: Positive (KP): Ni 89%/Cr 10%/Fe 1%; Negative (KN): Ni 95%/Al 2%/Mn 2%/Si 1%
- Compliant Standards: IEC 60584-2, GB/T 4989-2013, ASTM E230, RoHS 2.0
- Manufacturer: Tankii Alloy Material, certified to ISO 9001 and IATF 16949
Key Performance Advantages
Superior High-Temperature Insulation Performance
High-purity alkali-free fiberglass insulation withstands 700℃ continuous operation and 800℃ short-term exposure, with insulation resistance remaining ≥10 MΩ*km at high temperatures. The tightly braided fiberglass sheath provides excellent protection against high-temperature dust, molten droplets, and weak corrosive gases.
Optimized 2×0.65mm Conductor Design
Each 0.65mm diameter conductor maintains loop resistance ≤1.8Ω/m (20℃) for low signal attenuation over long distances (up to 100m). Class 1 accuracy ensures thermoelectric potential error ≤±1.5℃ (0-400℃) / ±0.4% t (400-700℃) for precision heat treatment processes.
Easy Installation & Environmental Adaptability
Standard color coding (positive: yellow, negative: red) prevents connection errors, while the wide operating temperature range (-40℃ to 700℃) accommodates diverse industrial environments from low-temperature preheating to high-temperature furnace monitoring.
