What is a Type K Thermocouple?

At Labfacility, we specialise in providing high quality Type K thermocouples, known for their reliability and precision in various industrial applications. Our Type K thermocouples are engineered to deliver accurate temperature readings under challenging conditions, making them the go to choice for professionals across multiple industries.

A Type K thermocouple is a type of temperature sensor consisting of two dissimilar metals, Nickel-Chromium (Chromel) and Nickel-Alumel (Alumel), joined together at one end to create a measuring junction. When exposed to temperature changes, it generates a voltage that can be interpreted to measure temperature accurately.
