Type S Thermocouple Probe (Ceramic Sheath, 95% Alumina, 1600°C)
Product Overview
Type S thermocouple probe (as shown) from Huona New Material is a high-temperature, precision temperature sensor featuring a Type S (PtRh10-Pt) thermocouple junction, a 95% alumina ceramic protective sheath, and a die-cast aluminum connection head. Manufactured with precision welding and high-temperature insulation, it delivers stable thermoelectric performance across 0℃ to 1600℃ (continuous) / 1700℃ (short-term). Ideal for high-temperature industrial furnaces, ceramic sintering, metal heat treatment, and laboratory calibration, it offers excellent thermal shock resistance, high accuracy, and long-term reliability.
