The exceptional corrosion resistance of temperature sensors made of precious metals ensures a long service life and consistent measurement accuracy. Therefore, high-purity platinum or platinum/rhodium alloy thermocouple wires are the answer for sensing high temperatures up to 1700°C. For example, the steel and semiconductor industries employ thermocouples composed of these wires to measure precise temperatures.
