Type K Thermocouple, 1/8in OD, 12in L, 1/2in NPT SS Hex Nipple

Type K Thermocouple, 1/8in OD, 12in L, 1/2in NPT SS Hex Nipple

The Type K thermocouple is a reliable, versatile, and widely used temperature measurement device, ideal for industrial and commercial applications. With a 1/8-inch outer diameter, a 12-inch length, and a sturdy 1/2-inch NPT stainless steel hex nipple, this thermocouple is designed to withstand demanding environments while delivering precise and consistent results.

How Thermocouples Work

Thermocouples operate by converting heat into an Electromotive Force (EMF), which is then measured and translated into temperature readings. They consist of a welded "hot" junction between two dissimilar metal wires and a reference junction at the opposite end. When the "hot" junction is exposed to heat, a temperature gradient is created, generating an EMF signal. This signal is processed and displayed as a temperature value, making thermocouples essential for process controllers, recorders, and monitoring systems.
