The test results showed the conventional Type K thermocouple wire design maintained calibration limits and stayed within IEC 60584 -1: 2013 class 1 and ASTM E230 special tolerances up to the sixteenth cycle. In contrast, the new design dual-wall Type K sensors maintained calibration values to meet both IEC 60584 -1: 2013 class 1 and ASTM E230 special tolerances for the full duration of the tests.   This new low-drift mineral insulated thermocouple cable can allow Type K and N thermocouples to work longer and at higher temperatures with significantly reduced drift, offering greater measurement confidence.      To learn more about this exciting new development in thermocouple cable, why not make plans to attend the following presentation?
