Type J Thermocouple, 1/4in OD, 9in L, 1/2in NPT SS Hex Nipple

Type J Thermocouple, 1/4in OD, 9in L, 1/2in NPT Stainless Steel Hex Nipple

The Type J Thermocouple is a reliable, versatile, and efficient temperature measurement device widely used in industrial and commercial applications. Its compact design and robust materials make it suitable for a range of demanding environments.

What is a Thermocouple?

Thermocouples are among the most common and convenient tools for temperature measurement. They work by converting heat into measurable electrical signals, which can then be interpreted by process controllers, data loggers, or recorders. The key component of a thermocouple is the junction of two dissimilar metals, usually wires, welded together to form a "hot" junction. When exposed to heat, this junction generates a temperature gradient, which produces an Electromotive Force (EMF). The EMF is measured at the cold or reference junction, calibrated, and converted into temperature readings in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Key Features of this Type J Thermocouple

• Measurement Range: Ideal for moderate temperature ranges, this thermocouple operates effectively between 0°C and 760°C (32°F to 1400°F), making it suitable for a variety of industrial applications.
• Construction: Built with durable, corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel, the thermocouple includes a 1/4-inch outer diameter (OD), 9-inch length (L), and a 1/2-inch NPT stainless steel hex nipple for secure process connection.
• Advanced Engineering: Designed with a Magnesium Oxide (MgO) insulation core, this thermocouple ensures optimal performance and insulation, even in high-temperature or high-vibration environments.
• Process Connection: A standard 1/2-inch NPT stainless steel fitting ensures a secure and leak-proof connection to your process equipment.
• Conduit Opening: Features a 3/4-inch NPT opening for conduit connection, providing added flexibility for installation.
