Types of thermocouples:
Type K thermocouples: Type K is one of the most common types of thermocouples. Type K thermocouples are popular because of their low cost and high accuracy; they provide reliability and have a wide temperature range.
Type J thermocouples: Type J is also widely used and very famous for low cost, good performance, and high reliability. Can be used in higher temperature ranges, but this may shorten its life.
Type T thermocouples: Type T offers stability and consistency; you can typically expect Type T to be used in exceptionally low temperatures, such as freezing.
Type N thermocouples: Type N has similar accuracy and temperature limits as Type K. Type N is slightly more expensive.
Type L thermocouples: Type L specializes in measuring liquids such as liquid metals. They are often used in heating and apparatus engineering. This type of thermocouple is also inexpensive, efficient, and reliable.
