Type J Thermocouple: 3/16in OD, 18in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads
The Type J thermocouple is one of the most widely used temperature measurement devices due to its reliability, versatility, and ability to perform in a broad range of industrial and commercial applications. Designed to meet demanding temperature monitoring needs, this thermocouple offers precise and efficient performance for various environments.
Key Features:
- Probe Dimensions: 3/16" outer diameter, 18" probe length, suitable for accurate temperature readings in hard-to-reach or confined spaces.
- Wire Leads: 36" Teflon-insulated lead wires, providing excellent durability and flexibility in high-moisture or chemically exposed environments.
- Junction Type: Ungrounded junction for reduced electrical interference, offering a stable and accurate signal.
- Temperature Range:
- Probe: 0°C to 760°C (32°F to 1400°F).
- Maximum ambient temperature for lead wires: 204°C (400°F) continuous.
Thermocouple Overview:
Thermocouples are essential devices that convert heat into an electromotive force (EMF), which is measured and translated into temperature readings. This Type J thermocouple uses a welded "hot" junction between two dissimilar metals to create a temperature gradient when exposed to heat. The resulting EMF signal is then transmitted through the lead wires for calibration and monitoring by process controllers, data loggers, or recorders.
With its ability to measure temperatures ranging from -200°C to 2316°C (-328°F to 4200°F) depending on materials and design, the Type J thermocouple is ideal for a variety of applications. These include manufacturing processes, chemical plants, food production, metallurgy, and more.
Construction and Durability:
The Type J thermocouple features robust construction with a spring-loaded transition that provides strain relief, ensuring long-lasting performance. The Teflon-insulated wires enhance chemical resistance and protect against abrasions, making this thermocouple well-suited for harsh environments. The 2" stripped wire ends allow for easy integration into controllers or other monitoring systems.
Applications:
This thermocouple is perfect for:
- Industrial and laboratory temperature measurements.
- Process control in manufacturing and production facilities.
- Monitoring in chemically aggressive or high-vibration environments.
- Use in hazardous locations when paired with appropriate protection tubes, thermowells, or connection heads.
