At OZtherm, we supply an extensive range of thermocouple temperature sensors. Our range includes ceramic thermocouples (Type, K, R, and S), adjustable ring thermocouples, mineral insulated thermocouples, hand held thermocouples, as well as a complete range of parts, components and fittings.
Thermocouples are sensors used to measure temperature. They consist of two wires of different metals connected together at a junction. When this junction is heated or cooled a voltage is generated. This voltage is measured and converted into the temperature reading.
Thermocouples are popular choices across a range of temperature control applications. They are durable, can handle a wide temperature range, and have an extremely fast response time. This makes them useful for applications where quick measurements and precise adjustments need to be made.
Type K Thermocouple
Type K thermocouples are the most commonly used. They are inexpensive, accurate, durable and reliable and cover a wide temperature range. They are suitable for continuous temperature usage up to about 1,000°C, or short burst use up to about 1,200°C, making them ideal for temperature control applications like kilns and furnaces. They are compatible with any transmitters or temperature controller with a K type input.
We also supply a complete range of cables, fittings, mountings and more.
Type R & S Thermocouples
For higher temperature requirements, we also supply type R and type S thermocouples. R and S thermocouples consist of one wire of a platinum-rhodium alloy (the percentages change slightly between type R and type S) and the other an alloy of 99.99% platinum.
They provide accurate temperature measurements between 0 and 1,600°C. They are typically used for industrial applications that require accurate measurements at extremely high temperatures such as the glass and metal manufacturing industries. Due to their extremely high accuracy, they are also used when temperature precision is vital, such as calibrating analytical instruments and in the semiconductor industry.
