Platinum Rhodium Wire Description

Platinum Rhodium Alloy combines the best properties of both metals, offering exceptional strength, durability, and stability even under extreme conditions. Platinum Rhodium wire is often used as thermocouple wire, possessing high accuracy, excellent stability, a wide temperature measurement range, long service life, and high upper temperature limits. It is suitable for use in both oxidative and inert atmospheres, and can also be used short-term in a vacuum. However, it is not suitable for reducing atmospheres or environments containing metallic or non-metallic vapor gases. The thermocouple wire types include the B-Type, S-Type, and R-Type. Heeger Metal can supply high-quality platinum rhodium wires in various diameters and customized designs for multiple industrial and research applications.

Platinum Rhodium Wire Services

  • Remelting & Refurbishment: We offer remelting and refurbishment services for damaged platinum-rhodium wire.
  • Diameter Adjustment: Wire diameter can be increased or reduced to meet specific needs. We provide wires under 0.1mm for fast temperature measurement.
  • Hardness Adjustment: We supply platinum-rhodium wire in soft (electrically annealed) or semi-hardened forms based on customer requirements.

Platinum Rhodium Wire Applications

  • Thermocouples: Platinum-rhodium wire is a key material for manufacturing high-temperature thermocouples, widely used for measuring temperatures up to 1800°C. It is suitable for temperature measurement of fluids, steam, gases, and solid surfaces in industrial production processes.
  • Catalysis: Platinum-rhodium wire is used as a catalyst material, especially in the chemical industry, where it participates in high-temperature catalytic reactions.
  • High-Temperature Synthesis: Platinum-rhodium wire plays a crucial role in high-temperature synthesis, particularly in oxidation reactions under high-temperature conditions.
  • Electronic Components: Platinum-rhodium wire is also used in the construction of high-precision electronic components, such as sensors and instruments.
  • Laboratory Equipment: In high-temperature laboratory equipment, platinum-rhodium wire is used to control and measure temperature.

Platinum Rhodium Wire Packaging

Platinum Rhodium Wire is carefully placed in wooden cases or cartons with additional soft materials to support and prevent shifting during transportation. This packaging method guarantees the integrity of the products throughout the delivery process.
