These PRT elements can be used with precision laboratory and industrial instruments.

Copper wire has an extremely high electrical conductivity making it highly suitable for electrical connections and thermal conductivity applications.

Nickel wire provides good corrosion resistance. It is most suitable for use in electronic components, temperature sensors, electrical resistance thermometers and other electrical applications.

Rhenium Wire and Ribbon is used to manufacture filaments for mass spectrometers and ion gauges as well as medical applications.

Stainless Steel wire does not stain, corrode or rust easily as ordinary steel wire.

Inconel wire is a nickel-chromium alloy wire for applications requiring good resistance to oxidation and corrosion at high temperatures.
