Thermocouples

We’re offering a wide assortment of thermocouples for industrial applications and automation.

Temperature measurement is one of the most important actions in automation - in industrial conditions, the most commonly used are thermocouples and resistance temperature sensors.

Thermocouples - application

Thermocouples, also called thermoelectric temperature sensors, are one of the most popular solutions in the industry. Their main applications include laboratories, transportation, measuring-control apparatus, data systems, multi-channel devices, thermovision systems, and military equipment.

Benefits of thermocouples:

• low price,
• simple, stable, and faultless construction,
• predictable output voltages,
• possibility to use in chemically aggressive environments,
• wide range of temperatures, from -100°C up to over 2500°C
• highly precise measurement.

Types of thermocouples and their applications

For thermocouple's construction, various types of metals are used, from which each is intended for a different application.

E type - alloys for temperatures from -200°C to 871°C. Used in atmospheres from vacuum to slightly oxidative and in low temperatures.

J type - alloys for lower temperatures (0°C to 600°C). Used in the chemical industry.

K type - industrial standard up to 1250°C.

T type - alloys for temperatures from -200°C to 350°C. Common in the food industry.
