Temperature is a big deal in so many production processes. But when you mix chemical influences with high heat, measuring units made from base metals often hit their limit. That’s where thermocouple wires made from precious metals come into play—they withstand these tough conditions thanks to their remarkable corrosion resistance and heat tolerance. Plus, even when exposed to atmospheric elements, thermocouples containing precious metals have the clear advantages of longevity and minimal maintenance needs.
Standard Types:
- B – Leg PtRh6 + Leg PtRh30
- R – Leg pure Pt + Leg PtRh13
- S – Leg pure Pt + Leg PtRh10

Besides our precious metal thermocouple wires, we also supply non-precious metal types in various diameters upon request. You’ll find more info in our **Custom Fabrication** section.
Industrial Thermocouple Wires Made from Precious Metals and How They’re Used
Temperature plays a crucial role in countless manufacturing processes. Materials like base metals can quickly reach their breaking point under high heat and aggressive conditions. Our thermocouple wires made from precious metals and their alloys handle these intense environments effortlessly, thanks to their physical properties. Additional perks of precious metals include their durability, resistance to atmospheric influences, and low maintenance requirements.
So, What’s a Thermocouple Wire Anyway?
Think of a thermocouple wire—also known as a thermocouple—as a pair of dance partners. Two different metal conductors come together at one end, and this union creates something special. When the joined end experiences a temperature change, it generates a tiny voltage unique to that metal combo. By measuring this voltage, we can accurately determine the temperature. It’s a simple yet brilliant method for monitoring heat levels.
Sustainability of Our Industrial Thermocouple Wires
We get that the environment and climate are big players in production today. But efficiency in materials and manufacturing is just as important. That’s why we work according to specific criteria. Of course, we offer new fabrications, but we also handle repairs and recycle unusable old items containing precious metals. This approach ensures we maximize the (re)use of all materials.
