Nisil is an austenitic nickel-silicon alloy (NiSi alloy) used for the negative leg of thermocouple type N. It offers better oxidation resistance than type E, J and K thermocouples.

Nisil alloy cannot be exposed to sulphur-containing gases. This thermocouple alloy is the most recent one among the different types covered by the international standards.
