K-Type Thermocouple | 200-300mm Probe Length | WRNK-191 Sensor

This armored thermocouple sensor measures temperature reliably in small spaces. Its main benefit is the bendable probe; you can shape it to go around things. The mineral insulation protects the K-type thermocouple wires, making it a good choice for industrial ovens and machines. Features and Benefits - Bendable stainless steel probe - You can install the sensor in complex layouts or hard-to-reach spots without harming the wires inside. - Mineral insulated (MI) build - This protects against shaking, moisture, and chemical rust. It makes the sensor last longer. - K-type thermocouple part - K-type is often used for high temperatures. It gives accurate readings from 0°C up to 1100°C. - Comes in 1mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm sizes - Choose a thinner 1mm bendable K-type thermocouple probe for quicker temperature changes or a thicker one for more stiffness. Applications - Ovens and Autoclaves - Use this armored thermocouple sensor for an oven where you need a flexible probe to move around parts inside. - Plastics and Rubber Processing - Put it in extruders and molding machines to get exact temperature information from important spots. - Engine Test Benches - The bendable thermocouple probe is helpful for placing the sensor in tight engine areas to check component temperatures. What It Is This is a K-Type Thermocouple, specifically the WRNK-191 Sensor model. It is designed for accurate temperature measurement across a wide range, from 0 to 1100°C. The probe itself is available in various lengths, including 200mm, 250mm, and 300mm, and can be either armoured or bendable. Its slender probe diameter options of 1mm, 1.5mm, or 2mm allow for precise placement in various applications. The unit is from Brand L. Key Uses & Applications This K-Type Thermocouple is suitable for environments requiring precise temperature monitoring up to 1100°C. Its robust design, with options for armoured or bendable probes, makes it versatile for industrial and laboratory settings. Common applications include monitoring temperatures in furnaces, kilns, and ovens, as well as in manufacturing processes where high heat is involved. It can be connected to a display gauge or a temperature controller for automated systems. How to Choose Selecting the right K-Type Thermocouple depends on your specific needs. Consider the required probe length from 200mm, 250mm, or 300mm to ensure it reaches the measurement point effectively. The probe diameter, available in 1mm, 1.5mm, or 2mm, influences response time and physical fit. Choose an armoured probe for durability in harsh conditions, or a bendable probe for installation in confined or irregularly shaped spaces. Always ensure the temperature range of 0-1100°C meets your application. Grit / Spec Guide The WRNK-191 Sensor K-Type Thermocouple offers specific configurations for different needs. Probe lengths are 200mm, 250mm, or 300mm. Probe diameters are 1mm, 1.5mm, or 2mm. The probe type can be either armoured for enhanced protection or bendable for flexibility during installation. Its temperature range is 0-1100°C. When cleaning a water heater thermocouple, or similar device, use fine-grit abrasive paper or a wire brush to remove soot and carbon deposits from the tip of the probe, ensuring good contact. Care & Safety Proper care extends the life of your K-Type Thermocouple. Avoid bending armoured probes sharply, as this can damage the internal wiring. For bendable probes, ensure bends are gradual and not excessively tight. Always ensure the temperature being measured does not exceed the 0-1100°C range. When replacing a thermocouple on a gas fireplace, always turn off the gas supply and allow the unit to cool completely. Handle the probe and the lead carefully to prevent damage to the delicate sensor and connection points.
