• RS Pro ANSI Type K ; T Fine Wire Exposed Junction Thermocouples. From RS Pro a range of Type K and Type T fine wire temperature sensing thermocouples ithat meet ANSI MC96.1 stanards with class 1 tolerance for optimum accuracy. These Type K and type T wire temperature sensors consist of a durable Teflon PFA insulated twin-twisted lead and a single element exposed welded junction for a fast response time. How does a Thermocouple Work?. A thermocouple is a sensor ***d to measure temperature in a range of different processes and consists of two wire legs made from different metals joined together at their two ***s to form two junctions. The hot, or measuring junction is connected to the body whose temperature is going to be measured. The cold junction or reference junction is connected to a body of known temperature. When the measuring junction is placed on something hot a voltage or potential difference between this and the reference junction occurs. This voltage can then be converted into a temperature measurement using thermocouple reference tables. This process is also known as the Seebeck Effect. What is a Welded Exposed Junction?. A welded exposed junction is where the thermocouple wires are welded together but are not surrounded by the outer sheath. The ***s of the wire are directly inserted into the process. This means the thermocouple has a high sensitivity and response time. Welded exposed junctions are more prone to corrosion and are recomm***ed for measuring flowing or static non-corrosive gas temperatures. Features and Benefits. ANSI MC96.1 class 1 tolerance for optimum accuracy Class 1 cable specification in accordance with BS EN 60584-3:2008 Exposed welded junction for fast response Durable Teflon PFA insulation for resistance to oils, acid, fluids and good mechanical strength and flexibility Temperature ranges from -75 to +250°C. Applications. These K Type and T type fine wire thermocouples are ideal for test and development applications including test and measurement, temperature mapping and OEM applications
