Product Description
Manufacturer K Type Thermocouple Compensating Wire stranded wire KX 0.2mm 0.3mm
A Thermocouple is a sensor used to measure temperature.
Thermocouples consist of two wire legs made from different metals.
The wires legs are welded together at one end, creating a junction.
This junction is where the temperature is measured.
When the junction experiences a change in temperature, a voltage is created.
The voltage can then be interpreted using thermocouple reference tables to calculate the temperature.
Thermocouple wire allows temperatures to be measured electronically.
Thermocouples are used in many industrial, scientific, and OEM applications.
Thermocouple can be found in nearly all industrial markets: Power Generation, Oil/Gas, Pharmaceutical, biotech, Cement, Paper & Pulp, etc.
Thermocouples are also used in everyday appliances like stoves, furnaces, and toasters.
Available Types of thermocouple wire are: K, N, E, J, T, B, R, S.
Application of thermocouple wire:
1. Heating - Gas burners for ovens
2. Cooling - Freezers
3. Engine protection - Temperatures and surface temperatures
4. High temperature control - Iron casting
