A Type N thermocouple is a temperature sensor used in various industrial applications. A Type N thermocouple consists of a Nicrosil (positive) and Nisil (negative) wire pair.
 
It offers improved stability and accuracy over Type K thermocouples, especially at higher temperatures. With a range of -270°C to +1300°C, it’s resistant to oxidation and green rot. Type N is commonly used in high-temperature industrial processes and nuclear applications.
 

Key Features of N Type Thermocouples:

  • Wide Temperature Range: Capable of measuring temperatures from -270°C to +1300°C, making them suitable for a variety of applications.
  • Excellent Stability: High resistance to oxidation and drift, ensuring consistent and accurate readings over time.
  • Durability: Available in various constructions, including mineral insulated, ceramic, and metal sheathed options to withstand harsh conditions.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of industries and processes, from heat treatment to manufacturing.

Applications:

  • Heat treatment processes
  • Aerospace
  • Automotive
  • Power generation
  • Chemical processing
  • Oil and gas
