- ACCUTHERM™
High Accuracy Thermocouple Wire
Business and industry are spending considerable time and money
improving the efficiency of their manufacturing processes.
Reducing scrap, increasing through-put, and improving product
quality are today’s benchmarks for success. Temperature
is the most frequently measured process variable. To be competitive,
industry needs to control and monitor process temperatures
to the highest degree of accuracy. In response to this need,
TE Wire & Cable has developed ACCUTHERM™,
a super accurate thermocouple wire which surpasses the performance
of ASTM/ANSI special limits initial accuracy tolerance.
The accuracy of thermocouple wire is expressed as deviation
from the published NIST voltage versus temperature relationship
for each type of wire. This chart shows the accuracy advantage
of ACCUTHERM™ thermocouple wire over
the initial calibration
tolerances for standard limits and special limits.

The initial calibration tolerance for ACCUTHERM™
is approximately four times that of standard limits thermocouple
wire
and double that of special limits thermocouple wire. It is available
with any of TE Wire & Cable’s standard
insulations.
Whether your process is Heat Treating or Autoclave Validation;
Performance Testing or Research and Development; Aerospace
or Metals, ACCUTHERM™ will give you
the temperature accuracy readings you need to remain competitive.
When high
accuracy temperature measurements are critical to your process,
ACCUTHERM™ is the answer.
