RAIL® manufactures Nickel-Chrome and Iron-Chromium-Aluminum based Electrical Resistance Alloys which are used for high temperature applications.
Nickel-Chrome based alloy is ideal for applications up to 1200◦C and which are subject to frequent switching and wide temperature fluctuations. It gives outstanding performance under the most exacting conditions.
Iron-Chromium-Aluminum Alloy offers higher surface load, higher resistivity and is suitable for temperature up to 1400◦C. It offers better life compared to Nickel-Chrome alloy in sulphuric atmosphere.
RAIL®-NC 80/20 is Nickel Chrome based alloy, whereas RAIL®-HTM / RAIL®-145A1 / RAIL®-135D / RAIL®-LT Plus and RAIL®-2 are Iron-Chromium-Aluminum based alloys.
Thermocouple Alloys
Quality Grade – Type K
Thermocouple alloys are used in making thermocouple for temperature measurement.
Isatherm Plus® & Isatherm Minus® are Type K thermocouple alloys which are used in thermocouple for temperature measurement up to 1250◦C.
Positive leg of thermocouple is denoted as KP and Negative leg is denoted as KN. Isatherm Plus® is KP and Isatherm Minus® is KN.
These wires conform to international standards like ASTM/ANSI/IEC/DIN/JIS and are available with standard as well as special limits of error.
Extension Grade - Type KX
Thermocouple extension wires are used for taking connections from thermocouple to instruments situated at remote locations. These wires are distinguished by additional letters ‘X’ viz. Isatherm Plus® KPX and Isatherm Minus® KNX.
