FW05

Fine Wire Thermocouple

The FW05 Fine Wire Thermocouple is typically used to measure atmospheric temperature gradients or fluctuations. The small mass of the thermocouples is less susceptible to solar loading; therefore, a radiation shield is not required. One differential analog input per sensor is required.


Features

  • FW05 has a 0.0005 inch diameter
  • Extremely small diameters virtually eliminate solar loading
  • Type E thermocouples—typical output is 60 µV/°C
  • Typically used to measure atmospheric temperature flux with research-grade accuracy
  • Shipping/transport requires TCBR/ENC (capacity=4)

Specifications

  • Type: Chromel-Constantan
  • Typical Output: 60 μV/°C
