NI80-040-50

NI80-040-50 is a NIC80 series resistance heating wire. This wire is a resistance heating wire comprised of 80% nickel and 20% chromium. This NIC80 wire is commonly used as a resistor at elevated temperatures. This is essential for resistor elements in high temperature applications such as electric furnaces, electric ranges and radiant heaters operating at temperatures up to 1150°C (2100°F). In addition to these qualities and standard uses, it has found wide application in technical applications due to its combination of high electrical resistance and its temperature coefficient of resistance much less than that of Nickel-Chrome 60.
