Ceramic High-Temperature Thermocouple Type R And Type S Technical Details
Type R And S Ceramic Thermocouples Are The Most Popular Rare Metal Thermocouple Types. They Are Very Similar In Conductor Construction. As The Cost Of Platinum And Rhodium Is High In Comparison To Base Metal Thermocouples, Type R & Type S Wire Can Be Recovered And Recycled From Failed Thermocouples. The Negative Leg On A Type R Or S Thermocouple Is Pure Platinum And The Positive Leg Is Platinum / Rhodium.
