Pt/Pd Precision Thermocouple

Platinum / Palladium thermocouples (Pt/Pd) are the most precise thermocouples manufactured in the eXacal factory. 

  • Temperature range: 0 °C to 1500 °C
  • stress-compensating design
    The design of the measuring point allows stress-free expansion of the thermo wires.
  • excellent inhomogeneity
    The high purity of 99.99 % and the thermal pre-treatment of the thermocouple wires ensure excellent inhomogeneity.
  • small measurement uncertainty and low drift
    The achievable measurement uncertainties are better by a factor of 2 than with type R/S thermocouples.

Pt/Pd thermocouples can be used in the temperature range from 0°C to 1500°C with very small measurement uncertainties. A special feature of this thermocouple is a junction of the thermocouple wires without mechanical tension. This special design ensures stress-free expansion of the platinum and palladium thermocouple wires. The different thermal expansion coefficients of the two thermocouple wires are thus compensated without mechanical tensions changing the Seebeck coefficient.
