Omega thermocouple type k chromel - alumel
Omega Thermocouple type K Chromel - Alumel
Omega KTSS-14U-18 18" long thermo-couple
* 17.9" long probe, 0.25" diameter Beware that: "The type K was specified at a time when metallurgy was less advanced than it is today and, consequently, characteristics vary considerably between examples. Another potential problem arises in some situations since one of the constituent metals, nickel, is magnetic. One characteristic of thermocouples made with magnetic material is that they undergo a step change when the magnetic material reaches its Curie point. This occurs for this thermocouple at 354 C. Sensitivity is approximately 41 V/ C. [Wikipedia]
