RS Pro IEC Mineral Insulated Type J and Type K Thermocouples with KNE Terminal Head. This is a series of Type J and Type K thermocouple temperature sensors or probes from RS Pro that comply with IEC 584 standards. These thermocouple temperature probes are durable and feature a flexible 310 stainless steel mineral insulated jacket that is flexible and flexible for a variety of applications. The thermocouple features an insulated thermal junction to reduce electrical interference. One end of the thermocouple terminates in a compact KNE terminal head for a protected connection. How Thermocouples Work: Thermocouples are used to measure temperature in a variety of processes. They consist of two wire legs made of two different metals, with the ends of each metal joined to form two junctions. The hot junction (measurement junction) is connected to the body whose temperature is being measured. The cold junction (reference junction) is connected to a body of known temperature. When a measurement junction is placed on a heat source, a voltage or potential difference is generated between the junction and the reference junction. This voltage is converted into a temperature measurement using a thermocouple reference table. This process is also known as the Seebeck effect. What is an insulated junction? An insulated or ungrounded measurement junction is one in which the thermocouple wires are welded together and completely covered and insulated by an outer sheath. This has the advantage of reducing electrical interference and providing a stable reading. What is inorganic insulation? Inorganic insulation is used to insulate thermocouple wires from each other and from the surrounding metallic sheath. To prevent conductors from touching each other except at fixed junctions, the sheath is filled with highly compressed magnesium oxide powder. The dense mineral powder promotes rapid heat transfer between the conductor and the sheath, resulting in a fast thermal response. Inorganic insulation also protects thermocouple wires from environmental damage such as corrosion, prevents electrical interference, and maintains mechanical strength while remaining flexible. What is a terminal head? Terminal heads are designed to provide connection access between the sensor and device wiring and protect it from the elements. This thermocouple's KNE terminal head has an aluminum finish and is rated to IP67. The head incorporates a compensating terminal block and an M20 cable gland. The probe is pressed into the head through the probe gland and flange. The termination head also includes a screw cap and a retaining chain. Key Features and Benefits: Insulated thermal junctions reduce electrical interference. Mineral insulation provides flexibility, durability, and high performance. Compliant with IEC 584 standards. Flexible and bendable for easy installation. Stainless steel 310 probe jacket resists corrosion and oxidation. 6 mm diameter probe. IP67-rated termination head provides connection access and protection. Simple push-in process via the probe gland and flange. M20 cable gland. Applications: Type K thermocouples (nickel-chromium-nickel-aluminum) are the most common type of thermocouple. Both offer a wide temperature range, precision, and flexibility. Typical applications for this mineral-insulated Type K thermocouple probe include heat exchangers, power plants, brick and cement kilns, heat treatment and annealing furnaces, thermostats, food thermometers, vehicle diagnostics, and laboratories. Type J thermocouples (iron-constantan) have a narrower temperature range and shorter life at higher temperatures than Type K, but are just as reliable. Type J thermocouples are ideal for monitoring temperatures in inert materials and vacuum applications. Applications include plastic and resin manufacturing and thermal processes in electric furnaces.
