General Thermocouple Applications

Thermocouples are suitable for measuring over a large temperature range, up to 2300 °C. Applications include temperature measurement for kilns, gas turbine exhaust, diesel engines, other industrial processes, and fog machines.

They are less suitable for applications where smaller temperature differences need to be measured with high accuracy, for example, the range 0–100 °C with 0.1 °C accuracy. For such applications thermistors, silicon bandgap temperature sensors, and resistance thermometers are more suitable.

Fiberglass and Teflon insulated leads for industrial and commercial equipment. Lead lengths 6 to 360 in. (152 to 9,144 mm) and standard sheath lengths up to 12 inches. Available in J, K, T, and E calibrations available.
