FIBERGLASS BRAIDED

Fiberglass Braided Sensor Wire is designed to withstand extreme temperatures while offering excellent mechanical strength. The braided fiberglass insulation provides superior heat resistance and durability, making it ideal for high-temperature industrial environments. This wire ensures reliable performance in challenging applications like thermocouples, heating elements, and temperature monitoring systems

Example Applications: Heat Treating, Glass & Ceramic Kilns, Foundries, Extensive applications in aluminum processing, Preheating & Stress Relieving of Forgings, Heat Treating for annealing, aging, or hardening, Homogenizing furnaces for billet preheating, Furnace Temperature Surveys

Symbols:
‡ = All fiberglass is impregnated with a high-temperaure resin to increase durability and reduce fraying.
