Type K Thermocouple, 1/8in OD, 6in L, 1/2in NPT SS Hex Nipple

Type K Thermocouple, 1/8in OD, 6in L, 1/2in NPT SS Hex Nipple

This Type K Thermocouple is a versatile and reliable temperature-sensing device designed for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

What is a Thermocouple?

Thermocouples are the most common and convenient devices used for temperature measurement. They operate on a simple principle: when two different metals are joined at one end (the "hot" junction), a small voltage, or Electromotive Force (EMF), is produced when that junction is heated. This voltage changes in proportion to the temperature, allowing for precise measurement. This signal is then sent to controllers, recorders, or displays to be converted into a temperature reading.

Key Features and Construction:

• Type K Sensor: Composed of Chromel and Alumel alloys, Type K thermocouples are known for their wide temperature range, accuracy, and durability, making them a popular choice for many industrial processes.
• MgO Insulation: This assembly uses high-purity Magnesium Oxide (MgO) to insulate the thermocouple wires from the outer sheath. This compact insulation provides excellent electrical isolation, high dielectric strength, and rapid response to temperature changes. It also protects the wires from oxidation and corrosion.
• Durable Sheath: The 1/8" outer diameter sheath protects the internal components from moisture, vibration, and harsh industrial environments, ensuring a long service life.
