K-Type Thermocouple

This K-Type thermocouple is a replacement part for the Temperature High (K-Type) sensor.

The thermocouple junction is housed at the end of a 200 x 3 mm AISI 310 stainless steel sheath. It has a one meter long cable that terminates in a mini plug (colour coded green to indicate thermocouple ‘type K’).

The metal sheath of the type K thermocouple can withstand temperatures above 1,000ºC. However, the PVC insulation on the connecting cable has a working range of –10ºC to 105ºC, so keep this cable away from the source of heat e.g. by clamping the Sensor in position. Stainless steel 310 was selected as the material for the sheath for its properties as a poor conductor.
