Product Description
Type K Thermocouple Probe (Stainless Steel Sheath, 1.5×100mm, 5m Stainless Steel Braided Lead)
Product Overview
Type K thermocouple probe (as shown) from Huona New Material is a high-precision, rugged temperature sensor featuring a Type K (Chromel/Alumel) thermocouple junction, 304 stainless steel protective sheath, and stainless steel braided insulated lead wire. Manufactured with precision welding and high-temperature insulation, it delivers stable thermoelectric performance across -40℃ to 800℃ (continuous) / 900℃ (short-term). Ideal for industrial furnaces, food processing, laboratory testing, and high-temperature equipment monitoring, it offers fast thermal response, excellent mechanical protection, and long-term reliability.

Key Core Advantages (Centered on Sheath & Braided Lead)
1. Ultra-Fast Thermal Response & Precision
- Fine Sheath Design: 1.5mm diameter sheath provides a thermal response time (τ₅₀) ≤1.5s in air at 800℃, ideal for dynamic temperature monitoring and rapid heat transfer measurement.
- Class 1 Accuracy: Thermoelectric potential error ≤±1.5℃ (0-400℃) / ±0.4% t (400-800℃), ensuring reliable measurement data for industrial and laboratory applications.
2. Rugged Stainless Steel Protection
- Mechanical & Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel sheath and braided lead resist bending, abrasion, and mild chemical corrosion (e.g., furnace flue gas, oil mist), extending service life by 3× compared to unprotected probes.
- High-Temperature Stability: Withstands continuous operation up to 800℃, maintaining structural integrity and measurement accuracy in high-temperature environments.
3. Flexible Braided Lead & Processability
- High Flexibility: Stainless steel braided lead is flexible (minimum bending radius ≥10× cable diameter), suitable for tight installation spaces and complex routing.
- Good Solderability: Exposed conductor ends (red/black) ensure reliable soldering to connectors or control systems, supporting custom termination.
