Insertion Type K Penetration Thermometer Probe

Insertion Type K Penetration Thermometer Probe

The Sper Scientific 800065 Insertion Type K Penetration Thermometer Probe is an essential tool designed for precise temperature measurements in a variety of applications where penetration into the material is required. This robust probe is ideal for monitoring temperatures in semi-solids, liquids, and granular materials, making it a versatile choice for food service, laboratories, industrial settings, and HVAC.

This particular probe utilizes a Type K thermocouple, which is widely recognized as the most common and versatile general-purpose thermocouple. It offers reliable and stable readings with a sensitivity of approximately 41 µV/°C. While Type K thermocouples generally boast a broad temperature range, this specific insertion probe is designed to accurately measure temperatures from -50°C to +400°C (-58°F to +752°F), providing excellent precision within this critical operational window. The standard wire color for Type K connections is yellow (+) and red (-).

For comparison, Type J thermocouples are often considered. They have a slightly higher sensitivity of about 50 µV/°C but typically operate within a more restricted range, often up to +400°C. Their standard wire color is white (+) and red (-). The choice between Type K and Type J often comes down to the specific temperature range required and environmental considerations.
