This K-type armored thermocouple WRNK-191 reads temperatures accurately in tough industrial settings. The armored outside layer keeps the sensor safe from rust and shaking, so it lasts a long time. It works for high-heat jobs, measuring from 0°C up to 1100°C. Features and Benefits
- Mineral-insulated armored casing - This protects the wires inside the thermocouple from wetness, chemicals, and physical harm. This helps a lot in rough places.
- Wide temperature range of 0-1100°C - This K-type thermocouple works well for furnaces, kilns, and other industrial heating systems.
- Many probe diameters available - Pick the right diameter for what you need. A thinner 1mm probe reacts faster, while a thicker one is physically stronger.
- Customizable probe length - Get the exact length you need for your setup. This means it fits right without extra slack or strain on the WRNK-191 temperature probe. Applications
- Furnaces and Kilns - Check inside temperatures with this K-type armored thermocouple. This helps keep heat treatment and firing processes steady.
- Industrial Ovens - Put in this industrial thermocouple sensor for steady temperature control when curing, drying, and baking.
- Chemical Processing - Use the explosion-proof K-type armored thermocouple WRNK model in reactors and pipes where it needs to be tough and safe.

When selecting this K-Type thermocouple probe, consider the specific application's temperature range and physical constraints. The available probe diameters, from 1mm to 8mm, allow for precise fitment into existing wells or new installations. Ensure the chosen diameter matches the required insertion point. As a semi-finished product, you will need to consider the appropriate lead length and connector type for integration with your display gauge or temperature controller.
Grit / Spec Guide
This K-Type thermocouple probe, model WRNK-191, offers a temperature range of 0-1100°C. Available probe diameters are 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm. These dimensions refer to the external diameter of the armored probe. The K-type designation indicates the specific alloy combination used for the thermocouple wires, ensuring a consistent millivolt output for temperature measurement. This is a semi-finished product, meaning further integration with leads and connectors is typically required.
Care & Safety
To maintain the accuracy of this K-Type thermocouple probe, avoid physical damage to the armored section. For cleaning a water heater thermocouple, or any other application, gently wipe the probe with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can compromise the probe's integrity. When replacing a thermocouple on a gas fireplace, always ensure the gas supply is off and cool before handling. Refer to the appliance's manual for specific installation guidance.
