Butt-Welded and Unsheathed
Tungsten-rhenium thermocouples were developed to
meet the requirements for measuring ultra-high
temperatures in the 2760°C (5000°F) range.
OMEGA®sells 3 widely used tungsten-rhenium
thermocouple calibrations: tungsten versus
tungsten-26% rhenium, tungsten-5% rhenium
versus tungsten-26% rhenium, and tungsten-3%

rhenium versus tungsten-25% rhenium.
OMEGA tungsten-rhenium thermocouples conform
to the limits of error listed in the table below.
Because of the inherent brittleness of unalloyed tungsten,

Butt-Welded
the tungsten versus tungsten-26% rhenium thermocouples
are more difficult to handle than the tungsten-5% rhenium
versus tungsten-26% rhenium combination.
The average emf of the W-3% Re/W-25% Re is slightly
less than that of W/W-26% Re and slightly more than
that of W-5% Re/W-26% Re. The ductility of W-3% Re
is about equal to that of W-5% Re, but superior to that
of unalloyed tungsten.
All 3 thermocouple calibrations can be used to 2760°C
(5000°F) in hydrogen or inert gas atmospheres and in
a vacuum. They deteriorate rapidly under oxidizing
conditions and should not be used in air or atmospheres

containing oxygen.
OMEGA tungsten-rhenium thermocouples come
in 300 mm (12") lengths, which corresponds to
each for a 600 mm (24") total length. Longer
lead lengths are available; consult sales.
