Type S Thermocouple (Platinum Rhodium – 10% / Platinum): The Type S is used in very high temperature applications. It is commonly found in the BioTech and Pharmaceutical industries. It is sometimes used in lower temperature applications because of its high accuracy and stability.
Key Features
Suitable for very high temperatures (typically up to ~1600 °C)
Excellent accuracy and repeatability
Outstanding long-term stability with minimal drift
Ideal for continuous operation in extreme heat
Resistant to oxidation at high temperatures
Performs reliably in clean and controlled environments
Often chosen where calibration stability is critical
Can also be used in lower-temperature applications requiring high precision
