Fine wire thermocouples of type K are devices used for temperature measurement, consisting of two wires made from different materials. When these wires are connected, they form an electrical junction. Changes in temperature at this junction generate a voltage that is used for temperature reading. This phenomenon is known as the Seebeck effect. The type K thermocouple probe is a simple PTFE thermocouple cable with an integrated plug. The sensors are made from a 1 or 3 m long class 1 thermocouple wire with a molded thermocouple mini plug.

Features and Benefits:

• Exposed thermocouple connection at one end
• With integrated thermocouple connection plug
• Complete encapsulation for maximum strength and durability
• Continuously high-precision thermocouple material
• Class 1 wire alloys, type K (NiCr/NiAl)
• Three-year warranty
• Includes flame sensors in safety devices for gas-fired appliances

The thermocouple fiber optic cable of this temperature sensor is 1 m long and has a response time of 0.1 seconds. It has a wide operating temperature range from -100 °C to 250 °C.

Typical Applications:
This probe is used in various applications and is often employed as an embedded sensor in construction, paper electronics, and packaging industries. Type K thermocouples are ideal for most general applications due to their ability to operate over a wide temperature range. They can be used in rotary kilns, gas turbine exhausts, diesel engines, or other industrial processes.
