Nextel insulation a high temperature ceramic is offered with in three types of overbraiding. XC is the standard braid, XT is a tight braid and XL is a loose braid. The three braids affect only the amount of Nextel used, not the overall temperature rating. Insulation is braided over each wire or leg then a final jacket of the same insulation is braided over the pair of wires.

XC4: Nextel 440 insulation has the highest temperature rating to 1375C (2500F)

Silica insulation is a high purity (SiO2 > 99%) ceramic yarn, that offers high temperature protection up to 2000°F at an economical price. Refrasil insulation is a vitreous silica fiber.

Inconel 600 ,304SS or Tinned Copper can be added and overbraided as the outer jacket over the Nextel insulation . This type of durable outer jacket can add abrasion protection and signal shielding.

What is the density for part number XC4-K-24?

Asked by: Lu22
Hi Lu22, Thank you for the inquiry. This product does not have a rated density. From the wire spec page you can find the weight / 1000 ft spool and the nominal OD. https://assets.omega.com/pdf/cable-and-wire/thermocouple-and-rtd-wire-and-cable/XC_K_TC_WIRE.pdf Best regards OMEGA

Hi, may you explain the durability difference post heating, between: high temp glass, silica, vitreous silica, and nextel ceramic? Specifically 700C exposure. Most ceramic fiber insulation I've used starts to fall apart after exposure. Thank you!

Asked by: Abraham
Hi Abraham High temperature glass ( HH ) is rated to 704 C and can be used without stainless steel or Inconel over braid. Over braid is available if exposed to abrasive or repeated bending conditions. It is recommended to use over braid to maintain integrity of the Nextel ceramic and silica fibers. Best regards,

Is it durable enough to use it(XC-4) at least 50 times with inconel overbraid? One time usage is considered as increasing temp up to 750 and 04 hours of soaking time at 750 °C and again lowering temp to room temp.

Asked by: Anonymous1
Thank you for the inquiry. The XC-4 can handle this with the inconel over braid. The XC and XS can also take this temperature with inconel over braid. Best regards OMEGA
