K type Thermocouple
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.
There are many types of thermocouples, each with its own unique characteristics in terms of temperature range, durability, vibration resistance, chemical resistance, and application compatibility. Type J, K, T, & E are “Base Metal” thermocouples, the most common types of thermocouples type R, S, and B thermocouples are “Noble Metal” thermocouples, which are used in high temperature applications.

What is a Thermocouple?
A thermocouple is a type of temperature sensor that consists of two dissimilar metal wires joined at one end. When the junction of the two metals is heated or cooled, it produces a voltage that can be correlated to temperature. Thermocouples are widely used in industrial applications due to their wide temperature range, fast response time, and robust construction.
