This ring head thermocouple uses a secure terminal and a flexible metal screening cable. It gets accurate temperature readings. It's for industrial settings where electrical noise can be a problem. We offer K, J, and E type thermocouples to match your equipment and temperature range. Features and Benefits
- Metal screening cable - Protects the signal from electrical interference. This gives you a clearer, more dependable temperature measurement.
- Ring head terminal - Mounts directly and securely onto a stud or screw. This ensures solid contact for faster temperature response.
- Available in K, J, and E types - Lets you choose the right sensor for your needs. K-type is for general use, J-type for older systems, and E-type for higher output.
- Multiple hole diameters (5mm to 14mm) - You can find the right fit for your machine's mounting point. This makes installation simple. Applications
- Monitoring heat in industrial ovens, kilns, and furnaces.
- Measuring die and barrel temperatures on plastic injection molding machines.
- Attaching to engine blocks or exhaust manifolds for automotive testing.
What It Is
This is a head thermocouple, designed for accurate temperature sensing. It features a metal screened cable that is 2 metres in length, providing good reach and protection. The sensor itself is a thermocouple type, specifically supporting K, E, and J types. It is designed to integrate into various systems for temperature monitoring and control. This product does not include a battery.
Key Uses & Applications
This head thermocouple is essential for applications requiring precise temperature measurement. It is commonly used with display gauges and temperature controllers to monitor heat in industrial processes, machinery, and heating systems. For instance, it can be integrated into a water heater to provide real-time temperature readings. Its robust metal screening makes it suitable for environments where cable protection is important.
How to Choose
When selecting a head thermocouple, consider the required thermocouple type. This product supports K, E, and J types, offering versatility. The ring head diameter is also crucial, with options including 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm to suit different mounting needs. Ensure the 2 metre cable length is sufficient for your application. If you need to replace a thermocouple on a gas fireplace, ensure the sensor type and head diameter match your existing unit or system requirements.
Grit / Spec Guide
This section is not applicable to a thermocouple as it is a measuring device, not an abrasive or cutting tool. Thermocouples are specified by their type (K, E, J), cable length (2m), and ring head diameter (5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm). The screening is metal, which offers protection to the internal wiring. When installing, ensure the probe is securely fitted to the measurement point.
Care & Safety
To maintain the performance of your head thermocouple, regularly inspect the metal screened cable for any damage. While this product is not designed for cleaning, if you need to clean a water heater thermocouple, ensure the power is off and the unit is cool. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove any soot or debris from the probe, being careful not to bend or damage the sensor. Always disconnect the thermocouple from its connector before attempting any maintenance.

A: You can order this with several hole diameters to fit different bolts or studs: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm. Just be sure to select the size you need when you order.. Q: How long is the cable and how is it protected? A: The cable is 2 meters long, giving you a good amount of reach from the connection point. It's shielded with a metal screening braid, which helps protect the temperature signal from electrical interference.. Q: What kind of temperature controllers will this work with? A: This is a ring head thermocouple that comes in K, E, or J types. It's compatible with any temperature meter or controller that accepts inputs from one of those specific thermocouple types.. Q: What happens if the sensor fails or gives inaccurate readings? A: We cover our sensors against any manufacturing defects. If you run into any problems with performance that aren't from physical damage, contact us and we'll help sort it out.. Q: When would I use a ring head sensor instead of a standard probe? A: A ring head sensor is ideal for measuring the surface temperature of a specific part. You can bolt it directly onto a machine housing, engine block, or platter for a secure, continuous reading where a probe might not stay put..
