Type J Thermocouple, 3/16in OD, 12in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads

Type J Thermocouple, 3/16in OD, 12in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads

The Type J thermocouple is a reliable and versatile temperature measurement device commonly used across industrial and commercial applications. With a 3/16-inch outer diameter and a 12-inch probe length, this thermocouple is designed for durability and consistent performance in demanding environments. The 36-inch Teflon-insulated lead wires ensure excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and wear, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

How Thermocouples Work

Thermocouples operate by converting heat into an Electromotive Force (EMF), which can then be measured and interpreted into temperature readings. Each thermocouple consists of a welded "hot" junction between two dissimilar metals, typically wires, and a reference junction at the opposite end. When the "hot" junction is exposed to heat, the temperature gradient generates an EMF, which is then measured at the free ends of the wires and translated into temperature units.

This Type J thermocouple can handle a wide temperature range, making it ideal for numerous applications:

• Probe Temperature Range: 0 to 760°C (32 to 1400°F)
• Wire Temperature Limit: 204°C Continuous
• Sheath Material: Durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for harsh environments.
