Product Details
Type K Thermocouple with Silicone Rubber Patch
Type K Thermocouples is a device which measures temperatures, it’s made up from two wires which are different materials. When these two wires are joined together, they create an electrical junction. Once the temperature changes at this junction, it creates a voltage which can then be interpreted and read as a temperature. This is commonly known as the “Seebeck Effect”.
Features & Benefits
• Moulded silicone patch thermocouple, Type K
• Features a self-adhesive patch with aluminium foil backing
• 1-2meter long insulated twin-twisted wire
• Resistant to most oil and chemicals
• Has a temperature range of -50°C to +150°C
• Three year warranty
• Thermocouple junction encapsulated in a silicone rubber patch with self0adhesive aluminium foil backing
Types of Thermocouples
• Type K Thermocouples: Type K is one of the most common types of thermocouple. They’re popular due to their low cost, the Type K are accurate, provide reliability and have a wide temperature range.
• Type J Thermocouples: Type J is also very common and widely known for their low cost, good performance and reliability. Can hold its own in higher temperature ranges, but this can shorten its lifespan.
• Type T Thermocouples: Type T offers stability and consistency, you can typically expect to use type T in exceptionally low temperature situations - such as freezing.
• Type N Thermocouples: Type N shares similar accuracy and temperature limits as Type K. Type N is slightly higher in their price range.
• Type L Thermocouples: Type L specialise in measurements of liquids such as liquid metals. They’re commonly used in heating and apparatus engineering. This type of thermocouple is also cost effective, efficient and reliable.
Note
Electrical isolation between foil and lead out wires cannot be relied upon
