Type N Thermocouple Probe (316L Stainless Steel Sheath, M20×1.5 Thread, IP65)
Product Overview
Type N thermocouple probe (as shown) from Huona New Material is a high-performance industrial temperature sensor featuring a Type N (Nicrosil/Nisil) thermocouple junction, a 316L stainless steel protective sheath, and a die-cast aluminum connection head (IP65). Manufactured with precision welding and high-quality insulation, it delivers stable thermoelectric performance across -200℃ to 1300℃ (continuous) / 1350℃ (short-term). Ideal for power generation, petrochemical processing, and industrial furnaces, it offers superior thermoelectric stability, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability.

Key Core Advantages (Centered on Type N Stability & 316L Corrosion Resistance)
1. Superior Thermoelectric Stability
- Minimal Drift: Type N thermocouple exhibits significantly less thermoelectric drift compared to Type K at high temperatures (above 1000℃), ensuring long-term measurement accuracy.
- Wide Temperature Range: Continuous operation from -200℃ to 1300℃, making it suitable for both cryogenic and high-temperature industrial applications.
2. High Precision & Accuracy
- Class 1 Accuracy: Thermoelectric potential error ≤±1.1℃ (0–400℃) / ±0.4% t (400–1300℃), meeting the precision requirements for critical industrial process control.
- Fast Thermal Response: Compact sheath design provides a thermal response time (τ₅₀) ≤2s in air at 800℃, ideal for dynamic temperature monitoring.
3. Rugged Construction & Environmental Resistance
- 316L Stainless Steel Sheath: Provides excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting, and crevice attack, making it ideal for marine, petrochemical, and acidic environments.
- IP65 Connection Head: Die-cast aluminum head with IP65 protection, preventing ingress of dust and water, suitable for outdoor and wet industrial settings.
4. Secure Mounting & Easy Installation
- Standard M20×1.5 Thread: Enables secure, stable installation in process pipelines, equipment casings, and furnace walls, with adjustable insertion depth.
