Type J Thermocouple, 3/16in OD, 6in L, 1/2in NPT SS Hex Nipple

The Type J Thermocouple is a durable and reliable temperature sensor, commonly used in industrial and commercial settings to provide accurate temperature readings across a wide range of applications. With a 3/16-inch outer diameter, 6-inch length, and a 1/2-inch NPT stainless steel hex nipple, this thermocouple is designed for efficient installation and optimal performance.

What is a Thermocouple?

Thermocouples are essential devices for temperature measurement, known for their simplicity, versatility, and accuracy. They work by converting heat energy into engineering units (e.g., millivolts), which can be used as input signals for process controllers, recorders, and monitoring systems. A thermocouple consists of a welded "hot" junction between two dissimilar metal wires and a "cold" reference junction at the opposite end. When the "hot" junction is exposed to a temperature gradient, it generates an Electromotive Force (EMF), which is measured and calibrated into usable temperature values.
