Product type
K-Type thermocouples are temperature sensors made from two different metal wires joined at one end, typically nickel-chromium and nickel-alumel. When the junction is heated or cooled, it generates a voltage that can be measured and interpreted as temperature. They are widely used due to their broad temperature range and durability.
| Temperature range | -200°C to 1260°C |
| Accuracy | ±1.5°C or ±0.4% of reading |
| Wire gauge | AWG 20 to AWG 30 |
| Junction type | Grounded, ungrounded, or exposed |
| Response time | 1 to 10 seconds depending on the application |
When selecting a K-Type thermocouple, consider the temperature range and accuracy required for your application. Specify the wire gauge based on installation needs and the type of junction (grounded, ungrounded, or exposed) depending on response time and environmental conditions. Certifications may be relevant for specific industries, so inquire about compliance with standards if necessary.
