CUSTOM MARLOX® THERMOCOUPLES


Sheath Alloys

304 Stainless Steel (18% Chromium - 8% Nickel)
A general purpose, economical, readily available sheath material that has good corrosion and oxidation resistance.
Maximum operating temperature is 1650°F.
310 Stainless Steel (24% Chromium - 19% Nickel)
A material that has improved resistance to corrosion as compared to 304SS and the best resistance to oxidation of the "300" series stainless steels.
Maximum operating temperature of 2100°F.
316 Stainless Steel (16% Chromium - 10% Nickel)
A material that has superior corrosion resistance as compared to 304SS or 310SS with improved oxidation resistance and a higher hot strength than 304SS.
Maximum operating temperature is 1700°F.
InconelTM600 (72% Nickel - 17% Chromium)
A material that is readily available and has outstanding resistance to oxidation, corrosion and scaling. Should not be used in the presence of sulfur above 1600°F. (TMInternational Nickel Company)
Maximum operating temperature is 2100°F.

Temperature Recommendation

The temperature limits for continuous duty, grounded junction thermocouples are shown for available sheath sizes and thermocouple calibrations. Exposed junction thermocouples should be used at lower temperatures for equivalent service life.
