Overview
The Omega XC-14-J-60 thermocouple wire is a high-performance Type J ceramic-insulated conductor designed for accurate temperature measurement in demanding industrial and laboratory environments. This 60-foot spool features Nextel 312 ceramic fiber insulation with standard braiding, delivering reliable thermal performance across a wide measurement range.
Key Features
- Type J thermocouple — suitable for 0°C to 590°C (32°F to 1100°F) continuous operation
- 14 AWG solid conductor — standard gauge for industrial probes and assemblies
- Nextel 312 ceramic insulation — rated 1200°C continuous / 1425°C short-term providing superior thermal protection and durability
- Standard braid construction (XC series) — balanced insulation coverage for typical high-temperature applications
- 60-foot spool — sufficient length for custom probe assembly and field installation
- ANSI standard compliance and color-coded conductors for simplified field wiring
