Thermocouple Insulators
ORX
/ TRX / FRX
Tolerances
The diameter and "out of roundness" of NEWPORT's
insulators is plus or minus 3% or ±0.005", whichever
is greater. The straightness is at least 1/32 inch for
each six-inch length. The following table lists the
maximum recommended wire diameters which should be used
with six-inch sections. Closer tolerances are permissible
with shorter sections, but the minimum clearance tolerance
is ±5% or 0.005 inch, whichever is greater. |

OMEGATITE®
450
This is an impervious, recrystallized, pure alumina
ceramic containing over 99.8% Al2O3.
It has the most superior gas and vacuum tightness and electrical
insulating properties at elevated temperatures. It is non-reactive
and recommended for use with platinum, as well as tungsten and
molybdenum thermocouple alloys. The maximum service temperature
is 1900°C (3450°F).
OMEGATITE® 350
This is an impervious, recrystallized pure alumina
ceramic containing over 99% Al2O3.
It has superior gas and vacuum tightness and electrical
insulating properties at elevated temperatures. It
is non-reactive and compatible with tungsten and molybdenum
thermocouple alloys. The maximum service temperature is 1900°C
(3450°F). Assortment of Newport's miniature insulators showing
relative size. Sizes up to 1/4 inch O.D. are available from
stock. Call Custom Engineering for Pricing of Specific Tolerance
Insulators.
OMEGATITE® 200
This
material is recommended for most thermocouple applications.
It consists of a mullite type ceramic capable of withstanding
temperatures up to 1650°C (3000°F).
