VI. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How to select Type S, Type R, and Type B?

Answer: For conventional high-temperature oxidizing scenarios (0~1600℃), Type S is selected for its balanced accuracy and cost-effectiveness; Type R is optional for scenarios with higher accuracy requirements; Type B is selected for ultra-high temperature scenarios above 1000℃ (600~1700℃), but it should be noted that Type B has low sensitivity below 600℃ and is not suitable for low-temperature measurement.

Why is the product not suitable for reducing atmosphere?

Answer: The precious metal materials of Type S/Type R/Type B platinum-rhodium thermocouples are prone to chemical reactions in reducing atmospheres (especially hydrogen and metal vapor environments), leading to thermoelectric potential drift and component damage, which affects measurement accuracy and service life. It is only suitable for oxidizing or vacuum environments.

Does the vacuum-sealed structure require regular maintenance?

Answer: Yes. It is recommended to check the integrity of the sealing components every 6~12 months to avoid vacuum leakage caused by sealing aging; when used at high temperatures above 1500℃ for a long time, the maintenance cycle can be shortened to 3~6 months to ensure stable sealing performance.

What is the recommended calibration cycle for the product?

Answer: Annual calibration is recommended. When used under ultra-high temperature (above 1300℃) or frequent start-stop working conditions for a long time, calibration every 6 months is recommended to avoid accuracy degradation caused by component aging.

Can the protection tube be replaced?

Answer: Yes. The product adopts an assembled structure, and the protection tube can be replaced individually after damage, without replacing the entire thermocouple, which reduces the use and maintenance costs; when replacing, a 99% alumina protection tube of the same material and specification should be selected to ensure consistent temperature measurement performance.
