RS Pro Thermocouple Type K. The RS Pro Type K is the most common thermocouple type with the widest operating temperature ranges. Type K thermocouple cables generally work in most devices as they are based on nickel and exhibit good corrosion resistance. The cable of a Type K thermocouple is ideal for testing and development applications and can be used for temperature measurements of surfaces, air, and liquids. Possible applications include measuring air temperatures in refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and measuring concrete temperatures during curing. Features and benefits: Welded tip, Type K, 2000 mm length, -50 °C to 400 °C, ±1.5 °C, 2 cables, 0.07 mm² CSA.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between mineral insulation (MI) and a fabricated sheath? An MI is flexible, while a fabricated sheath is rigid.
Should I choose a Type K or Type N thermocouple? Generally, a Type N is more stable and usually lasts longer than a Type K; N is a better choice for working with high temperatures depending on the sheath material.
Why should I use proper thermocouple connectors instead of regular electrical connectors? High-quality thermocouple connectors utilize thermocouple alloys, polarized connections, and color-coded housings to ensure perfect, error-free connections.
Other types of thermocouple cables:
Type J – 2 m, –50 °C to +1000 °C
Type N – 2 m, –50 °C to 1200 °C
Type T – 2 m, –200 °C to 350 °C.
