Type K Thermocouple
K Type Thermocouples are one of most utilized temperature sensor technologies across the world due to the wide temperature range -326 to 2300°F (-200 to 1260°C), the ease of use and cost value. Type K temperature sensors can be found in very diverse applications from harsh industrial and machinery environments to precise research and laboratory applications to general temperature measurement including everyday consumer use.
- Temperature Range of -326 to 2300°F (-200 to 1260°C)
- Below 32°F (0°C) requires a special matching of the positive Nickel Chrome KP and negative Nickel Aluminum KN thermocouple alloys is required to provide acceptable accuracy.
- Maximum continuous temperature is about 2,000°F (1,100°C) although can function at higher temperatures with special sheathing, high purity insulation and precise manufacturing methods
- Type K should not be used in reducing atmospheres unless protected by an appropriate protective sheath
- Sensor contruction is very diverse from exposed fast response small diameters to larger diameters with special protective sheaths and others designed for surface measurement.
- The Type K bare thermocouple elements can protected by compacted mineral insulation inside a bendable metal and rigidceramic sheaths to very flexible fiberglass braid and PFA/FEP teflon insulated wire designs.
- The Filter Search tool on the Left or the Clickable product categories below will aid in your selection of the Type K thermocouple products.
Type K Thermocouple Probes - with Stainless Steel, Inconel metal sheaths, and Ceramic Alumina Sheaths ranging in diameter from very fine .010" Inch (0.25mm) to rugged .250" (1/4" or 6.35mm). Probe terminations include, miniature and standard size connectors or wire leads
Type K Beaded Thermocouples - PFA, Fiberglass, and Ceramic insulated lead wire with high flexibility, diameters ranging fine 40 gage to rugged 20 gage, and temperature ranges from -326 to 2200°F; micro-beaded exposed weld provides very fast response times.
Type K Surface Thermocouples - stick on and bolt down versions available, with wire diameter ranging from .005" to .020", along with handheld probes; products are commonly utilized for new product development and reliability analysis
Type K Thermocouple Connectors - miniature, standard size, panel mounted, circuit board and other configurations available in thermoplastics, thermosets and ceramics
Type K Thermocouple Wire - diameter and insulations from fine diameter 40 gage (.003") to rugged 20 Gage (.032") with Plastic Fluoropolymers to higher temperature Fiberglass and or with Metal Overbraiding.
