Introduction to K-type thermocouple wires

K-type thermocouple is a temperature sensor that is typically used in conjunction with display instruments, recording instruments, and electronic regulators. K-type thermocouples typically consist of temperature sensing elements, mounting fixtures, and junction boxes, among other main components.
K-type thermocouples can directly measure the surface temperature of liquid vapor and gas media, as well as solids, ranging from 0 degree to 1300 degree in various production processes.
The current usage of low-cost metal thermocouples is the sum of other thermocouples. The diameter of K-type thermocouple wire is generally 1.2mm to 4.0mm.
The nominal chemical composition of the positive electrode (KP) is: Ni:Cr=90: 10. The nominal chemical composition of the negative electrode (KN) is: Ni:Si=97: 3. Its operating temperature ranges from -200 degree to 1300 degree .
K-type thermocouples have the advantages of good linearity, high thermoelectric potential, high sensitivity, good stability and uniformity, strong anti-oxidation performance, and low price. They can be widely used by users in oxidizing inert atmospheres.
K-type thermocouples cannot be directly used at high temperatures in sulfur, reducing or reducing, oxidizing alternating atmospheres, and in vacuum, nor are they recommended for weakly oxidizing atmospheres.
