Type K Thermocouple, 1/4in OD, 12in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads

Type K Thermocouple - 1/4in OD, 12in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads

The Type K thermocouple is one of the most commonly used and versatile temperature measurement devices, ideal for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Known for its reliability, durability, and accuracy, this thermocouple is perfect for monitoring processes in manufacturing, laboratory environments, and other demanding applications.

Key Features:

• Probe Specifications: 1/4-inch outer diameter, 12-inch long probe for precise temperature measurement in various environments.
• Temperature Range: Capable of measuring temperatures from 0°C to 927°C (32°F to 1700°F), making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
• Leadwire Specifications: Comes with 36-inch Teflon-coated lead wires for durability and resistance to environmental factors, with 2-inch stripped ends for easy connections.
• Junction Type: Ungrounded junction for reduced electrical noise interference, ensuring stable and accurate readings.
• Wire Color Code: Red/White for easy identification and compliance with industry standards.
• Max Ambient Temperature for Wire: 204°C (399°F) continuous operation.

How It Works: Thermocouples function by converting heat energy into a measurable electrical signal. The Type K thermocouple consists of two dissimilar metal wires joined at a welded "hot" junction. When the hot junction is exposed to a temperature gradient, the thermocouple generates an Electromotive Force (EMF), which is read as a voltage signal. This signal is then interpreted by controllers, recorders, or monitoring equipment to display temperature readings in calibrated units.

Applications:

• Industrial temperature monitoring in HVAC systems, furnaces, and industrial ovens.
• Laboratory use in chemical processes and research experiments.
• General-purpose temperature measurements in food production, automotive systems, and environmental testing.
• Hazardous locations and harsh conditions where durability is essential.
