This K-type thermocouple measures high temperatures in tough factory environments. Its stainless steel probe works up to 800°C. The 1/2" NPT fitting installs easily into standard ports. This threaded temperature sensor works well for boilers, furnaces, and kilns. Features and Benefits
- K-type thermocouple element - It covers a wide temperature range and reacts quicker than many PT100 sensors.
- 1/2" NPT threaded mount - It screws into standard fittings for a firm, sealed connection in pipes and tanks.
- Stainless steel probe body - The probe material resists rust and oxidation at high temperatures, which makes it last longer.
- Liquid-tight build - The waterproof sensor design keeps internal wires safe from moisture in boilers or liquid systems. Applications
- Checking flue gas temperatures in furnaces, boilers, and exhaust systems.
- Measuring process heat in chemical reactors and factory ovens.
- Controlling temperature for PID controllers in heat treatment and metal forging.
What It Is
This is a K Type Thermocouple with an 800°C Stainless Probe. It is designed for accurate temperature measurement across a wide range, from 0 to 800°C. The probe material is stainless steel, ensuring durability in various environments. It features an NPT 1/2 thread for secure installation and is a standalone product, not a semi-finished component. This thermocouple does not include a battery and uses a PT100 sensor type.
Key Uses & Applications
This K Type Thermocouple is suitable for applications requiring precise temperature monitoring up to 800°C. Its stainless steel probe makes it ideal for use in industrial processes, ovens, kilns, and other high-temperature environments where corrosion resistance is important. It can be integrated with a display gauge or temperature controller to provide real-time temperature readings. The NPT 1/2 thread allows for secure and reliable fitting in compatible systems.
How to Choose
When selecting a thermocouple, consider the required temperature range; this product handles 0-800°C. The probe material, in this case stainless steel, is important for durability in the intended environment. The thread type, NPT 1/2, must match your existing setup. For specific applications like a water heater, ensure the thermocouple type (K Type) and temperature range are appropriate. If replacing a gas fireplace thermocouple, check the length and connection type required by the appliance.
Grit / Spec Guide
This thermocouple features a stainless steel probe with a K Type sensor, capable of measuring temperatures from 0-800°C. The NPT 1/2 thread ensures a secure fit. It is a PT100 sensor type. This product is a complete thermocouple and not a semi-finished item. There is no battery included with this unit. The robust stainless steel construction of the probe is designed for longevity in demanding conditions.
Care & Safety
To maintain the lifespan of this thermocouple, avoid bending the stainless steel probe excessively. Ensure the lead and connector are free from damage. When cleaning a water heater thermocouple, gently wipe away any soot or mineral deposits from the probe; never use abrasive materials. For safety, always disconnect power before installing or replacing a thermocouple, especially when working with gas appliances like a fireplace. Ensure the NPT 1/2 thread is properly sealed during installation.

Q: What is the highest temperature this probe is rated for? A: This sensor is built to measure high temperatures, with a maximum rating of 800°C. This makes it suitable for use in furnaces, kilns, and exhaust systems.. Q: Can you tell me the material and thread size of the probe? A: The probe is made of stainless steel for heat resistance and longevity. It features a 1/2 inch NPT thread, which is a common size for industrial fittings in North America.. Q: Will this K-type thermocouple work with my existing temperature controller? A: If your controller is designed to accept a standard K-type thermocouple input, this sensor will be compatible. It uses the industry-standard wire colors for a straightforward connection.. Q: Is there a warranty included with this temperature sensor? A: Yes, it comes with a 12-month warranty that protects against defects in materials and workmanship. We will replace any sensor that fails due to a manufacturing fault during this period.. Q: Why would I pick this probe with an NPT thread over other types? A: The 1/2" NPT thread provides a strong, sealed connection that's standard in many industrial pipe and vessel applications. Choosing this model can simplify installation by matching existing ports without needing adapters..
