Campbell Scientific, Inc. Type E Fine Wire TC, 0.003" Diameter FW3

The FW3 Fine Wire Thermocouple is typically used to measure atmospheric temperature gradients or fluctuations. The small mass of the thermocouple is less susceptible to solar loading; therefore, a radiation shield is not required. One differential analog input per sensor is required.

The FW3 is a type E thermocouple with a 0.003-inch diameter. This thermocouple has research-grade accuracy and its small mass makes it less susceptible to solar loading, eliminating the need for a radiation shield. Typically used to measure atmospheric temperature gradients or fluctuations, the FW3 is compatible with most Campbell Scientific dataloggers.

Features

• High frequency response suitable for eddy-covariance applications
• Extremely small diameter virtually eliminates solar loading
• Well-suited for temperature gradient measurements
