NICROSIL is the positive leg of thermocouple type N. This thermocouple is the most recent one among the different types covered by the international standards. It offers higher thermoelectric stability in air above 1000°C and a better oxidation resistance in air than type E, J and K thermocouples. NICROSIL alloy cannot be exposed to reducing or alternatively oxidizing and reducing atmospheres or to vacuum. Information provided by Sandvik |
