Nicrosil-Nisil thermocouple is the latest base metal thermocouple, developed to improve the drawbacks that type K thermocouple has. The main chemical composition of positive leg Nicrosil(NP) is Ni: Cr: Si≈84.4: 14.2: 1.4; negative leg Nisil (NN) is Ni:
NiCr- CuNi thermocouple (type E) is also named NiCr- Constantan thermocouple. The main chemical composition of positive leg NiCr (EP) is Ni: Cr≈90:10; negative leg Constantan (EN) is Cu: Ni≈ 55%: 45%.
Fe-CuNi thermocouple (type J) is also named Fe- Constantan thermocouple. The positive leg Fe(JP) is made by pure Iron, and the main chemical composition of negative leg Constantan (JN) is Cu: Ni≈ 55%: 45%.
NiCr-NiSi (Type K) thermocouple finds the widest use in all basemetal thermocouple, at temperature above 500℃。The main chemical composition of positive leg NiCr (KP) are Ni≈90% and Cr≈10%; negative leg NiSi (KN) are Ni≈97% and Cr≈3%. The opera
Cu-CuNi thermocouple (type T) is also named Cu- Constantan thermocouple. The positive leg Cu(TP) is made by pure Copper, and the main chemical composition of negative leg Constantan (TN) is Cu: Ni≈ 55%: 45%.
