K Type Thermocouple for 1200.C Furnace
Introduction:
Thermocouple is a device used to measure temperature. It consists of two different types of metal wires, usually joined together at one end, forming a junction. When there is a temperature difference between the junction and the other ends of the wires (known as the reference or cold junction), a voltage is generated.
The voltage generated by the thermocouple is proportional to the temperature difference. By measuring this voltage, the temperature at the hot junction can be determined. Thermocouples are widely used in various industries and applications due to their simplicity, durability, and wide temperature range capabilities.
Different combinations of metals are used to create thermocouples, each with its own temperature range and sensitivity.
Type K:
Made of chromel (nickel-chromium alloy) and alumel (nickel-aluminum alloy), type K thermocouples are commonly used because they have a wide temperature range (-200 to +1372 degrees Celsius or -328 to +2502 degrees Fahrenheit).
Features:
With red and white casing and ceramic casing.
Applications:
Thermocouples are widely used in scientific research and laboratory settings for precise temperature measurements. They are employed in experiments, environmental chambers, incubators, ovens, and various analytical instruments to monitor and control temperature conditions.
