FW1

Type-E Fine Wire Thermocouple, 0.001-inch Diameter

The FW1 Fine Wire Thermocouple is typically used to measure atmospheric temperature gradients or fluctuations. The small mass of the thermocouple is less susceptible to solar loading; therefore, a radiation shield is not required. One differential analog input per sensor is required.

Features

  • FW1 has a 0.001 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

  • Weight: 2 oz (45 g)
  • Length: 14.5" (36.8 cm)
