Temperature Cables and Leadwire

Type "T" Thermocouples

Many types of metals are used for thermocouples in various applications; however, copper and constantan are the most practical type for temperatures below 600 Degrees F.   

The Constantan is an alloy approximately 57% copper and 43% nickel along with the junction of copper is called a type T thermocouple.

All of the Rolfes Temperature Cables are manufactured with this process and are made in the USA.  These are available in bulk or custom made to the customer's specification.
