Thermocouple Type K

Thermocouples have become indispensable tools in modern industrial environments where accurate, stable, and real-time temperature measurement is essential. Among all thermocouple categories, Type K stands out as the most widely used and most versatile temperature sensor across industries. Its broad temperature range, durability, and cost-effectiveness make it a preferred option for engineers, maintenance teams, and equipment manufacturers.   1. What Is a Type K Thermocouple?   A Type K thermocouple is a temperature-sensing device composed of two dissimilar metals—Chromel (Ni-Cr) and Alumel (Ni-Al)—joined at one end to form a measuring junction. When this junction experiences temperature changes, it generates a voltage proportional to temperature, allowing accurate m...
