Stainless Steel K-Type Thermocouple Probe, 6 inch

A great medium-sized insertion thermocouple with a K-Type sensor, this device features a 6-inch stainless steel probe and a 3-inch handle. The Type K sensor is housed at the tip, and the thermocouple comes with a miniature Type K connector that is compatible with digital K-type thermometers. This versatile instrument has a wide range of applications in science, manufacturing, and various hobbies.

In laboratory settings, the Type K stainless steel thermocouple can be used to measure a broad spectrum of temperatures in both gases and liquids. Its flexibility also allows it to be inserted into semi-solid materials, such as powders, pastes, and soil, making it a valuable tool for science projects in school, college, and university labs.

Industrial applications of this thermocouple include use in the manufacturing sector and the HVAC trade, where it can be employed to measure air and liquid temperatures. In the hobby realm, it finds use in brewing, distillation, extraction, and maker projects, with customers frequently purchasing it for measuring the temperature of molten lead in bullet casting, often with Lyman casting kits, as well as for molten brass and aluminum.

The sensor is positioned approximately 1/4 inch from the tip, which can be inserted about 1 inch into molten lead to provide accurate temperature readings. It is important to keep the handle and cable at room temperature to ensure optimal performance.

Key features of this K-Type Thermocouple, stainless steel probe for digital thermometers (Type K):

Temperature Range: -328 to 1292°F (-200 to 700°C) at the tip of the probe (Note: Keep handle and cord at room temperature!) Type K Stainless Steel Probe, length: approx. 6 inch (15cm), Diameter: 0.12 inch, 1/8 inch (3mm) K-Type Thermocouple stainless steel probes are easy to clean
