Put simply, a thermocouple is used as a device to measure temperature in a given application. Thermocouples are used in a wide range of industries,

Overheating of the crown in a glass melter, promotes accelerated refractory corrosion and wear.Operating a crown at too low a temperature, on the other hand,

The base-metal thermocouple covers the majority of applications within industry over a range of -80°C to +1300°C. Type T        Copper Constantan  

Pyrosales have been producing temperature solutions for the Glass Industry for more than 20 years. Our products are constantly being updated to meet the challenging

The following guidelines, drawn from our many years’ experience of serving the glass and furnace industries, will help achieve the best performance from high temperature

Thermocouple Type N: Type N (Nicrosil/Nisil) thermocouple has a Nicrosil (nickel-14%, chromium-1.5%, and silicon) positive leg, and a Nisil (nickel- 4.5%, silicon-1%, and magnesium) negative leg.

Thermocouple Type R: Types R thermocouples, (Platinum vs. 13% Rhodium/Platinum), are usable up to 1480°C (2,700°F). They are extremely stable but reducing atmospheres are particularly damaging.

Thermocouple Type S: Platinum/10% Rhodium positive leg, and a pure platinum negative leg. The temperature range for Type S is 0 – 1450°C (32 –
