Type K Thermocouple - 1/8" OD, 12" Probe, 36" Teflon Leads
The Type K thermocouple is a highly reliable and versatile temperature measurement device, perfect for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. With its 1/8" outer diameter and 12" long probe, this thermocouple is designed for precision and durability, making it an essential tool for temperature monitoring in demanding environments.
Key Features:
- Temperature Range: Suitable for a broad range of temperatures, from 0°C to 927°C (32°F to 1700°F) for the probe, and up to 204°C (399°F) continuous ambient temperature for the lead wire.
- Durable Construction: The probe is crafted to withstand rigorous conditions, while the 36" Teflon-insulated lead wires offer excellent resistance to chemicals, moisture, and high temperatures.
- Type K Thermocouple Design: Featuring an ungrounded junction, it provides accurate temperature measurement with minimal electrical interference.
- Wire Color Code: Red/White for easy identification.
- Transition Design: Includes a standard transition with a spring for added durability and flexibility.
- Stripped Ends: The lead wires are stripped 2 inches at the ends for easy installation and connection.
How It Works: Thermocouples operate by converting heat into an Electromotive Force (EMF), which can then be measured and translated into temperature readings. This is achieved through a welded "hot" junction between two dissimilar metal wires, creating a temperature gradient when exposed to heat. The resulting EMF is measured and calibrated to provide accurate temperature readings. Type K thermocouples are particularly favored for their wide temperature range and reliability in various applications.
Applications:
- Industrial process control
- Laboratory experiments
- Food and beverage processing
- Furnace and kiln monitoring
- HVAC systems
- Hazardous locations (with appropriate assemblies)
