What It Is
This is a K-Type thermocouple, designed as a high-temperature sensor. It features a durable stainless steel needle probe. The sensor is manufactured by SNDHEATER and comes with a shielding wire for reliable performance. Available with various probe lengths, from 50 mm to 300 mm, and wire lengths ranging from 1 m to 5 m, it offers flexibility for diverse applications. It operates within a voltage range of 20-50 V.
Key Uses & Applications
The K-Type thermocouple is ideal for accurate temperature measurement in high-temperature environments. Its stainless steel needle probe makes it suitable for insertion into various materials, liquids, or gases. Common applications include monitoring temperatures in industrial processes, ovens, furnaces, and laboratory settings. While this specific model is a general high-temperature sensor, thermocouples are often used in appliances such as water heaters to sense pilot light presence or in gas fireplaces to ensure safe operation.
How to Choose
When selecting this K-Type thermocouple, consider the required probe length and wire length. Probe lengths are available at 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm. Wire lengths come in 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m. The chosen length should accommodate the depth of measurement needed and the distance to your display gauge or temperature controller. All options feature a stainless steel needle probe and shielding wire for protection.
Grit / Spec Guide
This K-Type thermocouple features a stainless steel needle probe. It operates within a voltage range of 20-50 V. The probe is available in five lengths: 50 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm. The shielding wire lead comes in lengths of 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 4 m, and 5 m. Ensure the chosen probe length is appropriate for the measurement depth. The shielding wire helps protect the lead from interference and damage in demanding environments.
Care & Safety
To maintain the K-Type thermocouple, regularly inspect the stainless steel probe and the shielding wire for any signs of damage or wear. For general cleaning, wipe the probe with a dry, clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could corrode the stainless steel. If using in a water heater, a thermocouple typically does not require cleaning; if faulty, it is usually replaced. Similarly, for a gas fireplace, if a thermocouple is malfunctioning, replacement is the standard procedure rather than cleaning. Always ensure the voltage supply is within the 20-50 V range.

A: This K-type sensor is built to measure temperatures from 0 up to 800 degrees Celsius. You can get it with a probe length from 50mm up to 300mm, and the shielded wire comes in lengths from 1 meter to 5 meters.. Q: What is the probe made of, and what does the shielding on the wire do? A: The probe is made from stainless steel, which helps it resist rust and corrosion in different environments. The metal shielding around the wire protects the signal from outside electrical noise, which helps you get a more accurate temperature reading.. Q: Can I use this with any temperature controller or multimeter? A: It should work with most devices that accept a standard K-type thermocouple input. Just make sure your meter or controller is set up for a K-type sensor to get correct readings.. Q: What kind of warranty or guarantee comes with this probe? A: The sensor is guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects when you receive it. If you have any problems with its function right out of the package, just contact us and we can arrange a replacement or return.. Q: Why would I choose a needle probe instead of a different style? A: The needle design is specifically for piercing semi-solid materials to get an internal temperature reading. It's very useful for things like food production, soil testing, or checking the temperature inside plastics and other soft materials..
