The CWTD welds thermocouple wires together to form a uniform bead junction, consistent in size and quality, without detrimental oxide layers. The CWTD will make thermocouples of all commercially available thermocouple alloys including:
B Platinum 30 Rh-Platinum 6 Rh
C Tungsten 5 Re-Tungsten 26 Re
E Chromel-Constantan
J Iron-Constantan
K Chromel-Alumel
R Platinum 13 Rh-Platinum
S Platinum 10 Rh- Platinum
T Copper-Constantan
The CWTD features an argon gas weld chamber for joining most thermocouple wire from 38 AWG (0.004 inch/ 0.102mm diameter) to 20 AWG ( 0.032 inch/ 0.813mm diameter).
