Type K Thermocouple, 3/16in OD, 12in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads

Type K Thermocouple, 3/16in OD, 12in Probe, 36in Teflon Leads

Description: Type K thermocouples are among the most reliable and widely used temperature measurement devices, ideal for both industrial and commercial applications. Known for their versatility and durability, Type K thermocouples handle a broad temperature range and are suitable for various environments, from extreme cold to high heat.

This particular thermocouple features a 3/16-inch outer diameter (OD), a 12-inch long probe, and 36-inch Teflon insulated leads, making it perfect for applications requiring precise temperature monitoring. Its design includes a standard transition with a spring for strain relief and 2-inch stripped ends for easy connection.

How It Works: Thermocouples operate by converting heat into a measurable Electromotive Force (EMF). They consist of two dissimilar metal wires joined at a 'hot' junction, with the free ends acting as a reference junction. When the 'hot' junction is exposed to heat, it generates an EMF proportional to the temperature gradient. This EMF is then measured and converted into temperature readings using calibration standards. Type K thermocouples, made from Chromel (Nickel-Chromium) and Alumel (Nickel-Aluminum), are particularly suited for high-temperature applications and provide reliable, accurate results.
