Ceramic Fiber (MCFCF) 2200°F Wire
Product Description & Performance Features
This construction has a mica barrier tape applied to each single conductor prior to being insulated with the ceramic fiber yarns. The construction is identical to the CFCF construction except for the addition of a light jacket saturant and the mica tape, which protects against potential shorting from the back carbon residue which forms when the product is used in applications where the air is limited, such as thermocouples in protection tubes. The mica may also provide moisture protection during temperature cycling.
Designed for continuous use at temperatures to 2200°F(1205°C) intermittent use to 2600°F (1430°C)
Applications
For use in closed tubes or protected atmosphere
As a replacement for beaded thermocouples
Heat treatment
Coke ovens
Soaking pits
