K-type Thermocouple Introduction: Lorentzzi® K-type thermocouples are the most commonly used temperature sensors in heating temperature control systems. Its temperature measurement range is 0-400℃ (32-752℉), which can meet the temperature detection needs in most occasions. This thermocouple can be used with our PID temperature controllers and solid state relays to achieve precise control of temperature. The diameter of our K-type thermocouple detection tube is 5.0 mm, and the mounting screw is M8 thread. There are 5 sizes to choose from, as shown in the figure below: The shell of the detection tube is made of stainless steel and can be used for water or other fluid temperature detection without corrosion. Our K-type thermocouple wire sleeves are made of transparent PTFE, default cable length is 1 meters, this length can be customized to maximum 5 meters, if you want longer cable, please contact us for customization. Lorentzzi thermocouples are suitable for various scenarios including: machine tool equipment, heating equipment, plastic machinery, boiler equipment, temperature control equipment, automation and other places.

There are 6 steps to selecting the right type K thermocouple. Understanding the measurement temperature range: You need to know the temperature range you want to measure. Typically, a type K thermocouple has a measurement temperature range of -270°C to 1260°C. If you require more precise temperature measurements, you can try using a resistance temperature detector (RTD), such as the PT100 or PT1000. Generally, Type K thermocouples are sufficient for most applications. Confirm the shape of the temperature probe: Type K thermocouples can be divided into tubular, threaded, and ring types. Check your equipment to see which type is more suitable for use. Determine probe parameters: For probe type, ensure that tube length and diameter meet usage requirements; for ring probes, ensure that ring diameter is suitable for fixing; for threaded probes, ensure that tooth pitch and thread length are suitable for use. Determining cable length: Cable length is another important factor to consider. A cable that is too short will cause many problems. If the cable length needs to be extended, it must be a temperature-compensated type. Using a regular cable will affect the temperature measurement effect.、 Terminal blocks: Check if terminal blocks are needed. Thermocouples with the correct fork-shaped terminals can speed up installation and make them easier for users to use.
