Heater Ribbon - Type A (80% Nickel and 20% Chromium)

The Arklay S. Richards Co., Inc. offers two types of resistance heating ribbon. The Richards NRA or Type A heater ribbon is composed of 80% Nickel and 20% Chromium. It has a lower temperature coefficient of resistance when compared to Type C ribbon. The Type A has a usable temperature range up to 1150°C or 2100°F . Our NRC or Type C is composed of 60% Nickel, 16% Chromium, and 24% Iron. The Type C has a usable temperature range up to 1000°C or 1850°F . It has a higher coefficient of resistance than the Type A. Both types have excellent corrosion resistance. The Type C wire is very useful in applications where a high resistance is required within a limited space. In heating and technical applications, the Type A is most commonly used. The values in the chart are Ohms / foot. Use the chart below to build a part number. For Type A take NRA plus Code 1 (thickness) and Code 2 (width) for the desired type, thickness and width. Example: Type A 0.0100 thick x 1/8” wide = NRA2108. For Type C just change the “ A ” to a “ C ”.
