k type Temperature probe with 8mm x 4inch probe and 1/2 inch female connection

Industrial K-Type Thermocouple Sensor – 8mm x 4" SS Probe with 1/2" Female Thread Connection

Product Description

Engineered for versatile industrial integration and high-temperature durability, this K-Type (Chromel-Alumel) thermocouple is built for seamless installation. The distinguishing feature of this sensor is its 1/2-inch female threaded process connection, specifically designed to mount directly onto existing male pipe threads, specialized thermowells, or custom process lines without the need for additional adapters. Combined with a thickened 8mm stainless steel probe and a practical 4-inch (approx. 100mm) insertion length, this sensor balances robust mechanical protection with a rapid thermal response.

Technical Specifications

• Sensor Type: Thermocouple Type K (Chromel-Alumel)

• Probe Dimensions: 8mm (Outer Diameter) x 4 Inches (Length / approx. 100mm)

• Process Connection: 1/2" Female Thread (Available in standard BSP / NPT depending on process requirements)

• Material Construction: Heavy-duty Stainless Steel (SS-304 / SS-316) for superior high-temperature oxidation and corrosion resistance.

• Operating Temperature Range: Optimally suited for broad industrial ranges from 0°C to 800°C (continuous).

• Terminal Head: Standard weatherproof aluminum cast head (IP67) with an internal ceramic terminal block for secure wiring.

Key Features

• Female Threaded Mounting: Unlike standard male-threaded sensors, the 1/2-inch female connection allows maintenance teams to rapidly screw the sensor onto pre-existing male fittings, significantly reducing installation time and pipe modifications.

• Enhanced 8mm Durability: Thicker than the standard 6mm industrial models, the 8mm probe provides excellent mechanical strength against high-velocity airflow, vibrations, and minor impacts, without the bulkiness of a 12mm stem.

• Broad Thermal Range: The K-Type calibration provides excellent linearity and reliability across the widest range of standard manufacturing temperatures, making it a highly versatile component for any facility.

• Seamless Controller Integration: Fully compatible with your inventory of PID temperature controllers, PLCs, and digital panel meters.

Common Applications

• Heavy Machinery Retrofitting: Ideal for older industrial equipment where male thermowells are already permanently welded into the pipework.

• Industrial Furnaces & Ovens: Provides the mechanical strength needed for mid-to-high temperature heat treatment and baking processes.

• Chemical & Fluid Processing: Easily attaches to external male ports on holding tanks and mixing vats.

• Exhaust & HVAC Systems: Suitable for monitoring hot gas and exhaust temperatures in high-vibration ducting.
