Type K Kiln Temperature Sensor | Ceramic Probe with 1m Cord

This ceramic tube protects your Type K thermocouple probe from heat, moisture, and contamination inside a kiln or furnace. It's made from high-purity alumina ceramic. This 300mm tube shields the sensor, helping you get accurate temperature readings in harsh industrial settings. Features and Benefits - High-purity alumina ceramic construction - It handles continuous temperatures up to 1700°C (3092°F) without melting or breaking down. - Single-hole insulation design - This design provides a straight, protected path for the thermocouple. It prevents shorts and keeps the sensor working correctly. - Good thermal shock resistance - It will not crack or fail during fast heating and cooling cycles, which are common in furnace use. - Includes a 1m (3.3 ft) extension cord - This gives you flexibility in placing your temperature monitoring equipment away from the direct heat source. Applications - Ceramic and glass kilns - It protects the Type K ceramic kiln probe during firing cycles for consistent results. - Metal heat treating furnaces - It shields the thermocouple from corrosive air and high temperatures during annealing or hardening. - Laboratory and industrial ovens - It creates a chemically inert barrier. This prevents sensor contamination in scientific or manufacturing processes. What It Is This is a K-Type Thermocouple Probe, designed for precise temperature measurement in high-temperature environments. It features a robust ceramic tube for durability and a 1m extension cord for flexible installation. The probe is specifically engineered for use in ceramic kilns, ensuring accurate readings during firing processes. It connects to a display gauge or temperature controller to provide real-time temperature data. Key Uses & Applications This K-Type Thermocouple Probe is primarily used in ceramic kilns for monitoring and controlling high temperatures during firing. Its ceramic tube construction makes it suitable for extreme heat applications where other probe materials might fail. It provides essential feedback to temperature controllers, helping to maintain consistent kiln conditions for optimal results. It is an integral component for achieving precise firing schedules in ceramic production. How to Choose When selecting a K-Type Thermocouple Probe, consider the required probe length for your application. This product offers lengths of 200mm, 215mm, 250mm, and 300mm to suit various kiln sizes and measurement points. The 1m extension cord provides flexibility for installation. Ensure the probe material, in this case ceramic tube, is appropriate for the high temperatures of your ceramic kiln. Compatibility with your existing display gauge or temperature controller is also important. Grit / Spec Guide This K-Type Thermocouple Probe is specified by its probe length and material. Available probe lengths are 200mm, 215mm, 250mm, and 300mm. The probe material is a ceramic tube, chosen for its resilience in high-temperature kiln environments. The extension cord length is 1m. This K-Type thermocouple provides a standard output signal compatible with many temperature measurement devices. Care & Safety To maintain the performance of your K-Type Thermocouple Probe, avoid subjecting the ceramic tube to sudden impacts or extreme thermal shock. While designed for high temperatures, rapid changes can cause damage. Ensure the lead and connector are free from kinks or damage that could affect the signal. This specific product is not for cleaning water heater thermocouples or replacing gas fireplace thermocouples, as these typically use different probe types and materials. Always follow the safety guidelines for your kiln and temperature control equipment.
