Installation & selection FAQs

Practical guidance for choosing and using these two configurations. Temperature values are shown in °C; the unit should be confirmed.

1. What is the difference between the two sensors?

Type K has a green cable and a specified maximum allowable temperature of 700 °C. Type J has a yellow cable and a specified maximum of 500 °C.

2. Are the probes physically interchangeable?

Their physical shape and stated dimensions are identical. Their thermocouple types differ, so the receiving instrument must be configured for the correct type.

3. Does the maximum temperature apply to the cable?

Do not assume so. The silicone cable, transition and termination ratings were not provided and may be lower than the sensor maximum. Verify the rating of each part before use.

4. What instrument can I use?

Use a thermocouple input that supports the selected Type K or Type J and provides suitable cold-junction compensation. Select the matching input type in the instrument settings.

5. How do I connect the leads?

Confirm positive and negative lead identification with the supplier or the sensor documentation, then connect them to the corresponding instrument terminals. Do not infer polarity from the outer cable color.

6. Can I extend the cable?

Use extension or compensating wire and connectors compatible with the selected thermocouple type, observing polarity. Confirm that the extension and connectors suit the installation temperatures.

7. Is the transition part the cold-junction compensation point?

Not necessarily. The 10 mm × 40 mm part is the supplied transition dimension. Cold-junction compensation is determined by the measurement circuit and its reference- junction location. [1]

8. Is the measuring junction grounded or ungrounded?

The junction construction was not specified. Confirm it with the supplier if electrical isolation or response characteristics are important to your application.

9. What accuracy and minimum temperature are guaranteed?

A tolerance class, calibration certificate and minimum temperature were not supplied. Confirm the required range and accuracy before ordering or relying on the measurement.

10. Can the sensor be used in moisture or corrosive media?

The probe material is SS316, but an ingress-protection rating and chemical compatibility were not specified. Evaluate the complete assembly and process conditions with the supplier.

11. Can other lengths or connectors be ordered?

The listed configuration has a 150 mm probe and a 2 m silicone cable. Alternative lengths, terminations and other options are not specified; ask the supplier about availability.

12. How should the probe be installed?

Mount the probe securely at the measurement point. Protect the cable and transition from excess heat and mechanical strain; confirm immersion requirements and component temperature limits.

TC-K1/J1/T1

Screw-in type thermocouple K,J,T,E

The TC-K1 / TC-J1 / TC-T1 Series Screw-In Nozzle Thermocouple is a compact, robust, and highly versatile temperature sensing solution engineered for direct installation into threaded ports on machinery, pipelines, and process equipment. By leveraging the well-established Seebeck effect — in which two dissimilar metal conductors joined at one end generate a measurable electromotive force (EMF) proportional to the temperature difference between the hot junction and the cold (reference) junction — this sensor delivers reliable, real-time temperature readings across a broad operating range. Designed for demanding industrial environments, the TC-K1 / TC-J1 / TC-T1 series features a fully threaded stainless steel body that enables secure, leak-proof installation into standard metric (M6, M8) and pipe-thread (1/4 NPT, 1/4 BSP) fittings. The sensor is available in three internationally recognised thermocouple calibrations — Type K (Chromel/Alumel), Type J (Iron/Constantan), and Type T (Copper/Constantan) — to suit a wide spectrum of temperature measurement requirements. Lead wire material, length, and junction type are all fully customisable, making this series an ideal choice for OEM integrators and system designers seeking a drop-in thermal sensing component.

TC-K8/J8

Ceramic sheath thermocouple with connection box

The TC-K8 is a high-performance K-type thermocouple temperature sensor engineered for accuracy and durability in demanding high-temperature environments. Its defining feature is a robust ceramic sheath that provides exceptional resistance to thermal shock, chemical corrosion, and oxidation at elevated temperatures — making it the preferred choice for industrial processes such as kiln firing, furnace monitoring, and heat treatment operations. The sensor consists of two distinct probe sections: a stainless steel section that connects to the connection box, and a ceramic section that extends into the high-temperature measurement zone. This dual-material construction combines the mechanical strength and machinability of stainless steel with the superior thermal stability and chemical inertness of advanced ceramic materials. The integrated die-cast aluminum connection box provides a secure, weatherproof enclosure for the thermocouple terminals, protecting electrical connections from moisture, dust, and mechanical interference. Both the probe diameter and probe length of each section are fully customizable, enabling precise adaptation to virtually any industrial installation geometry. As part of the PIDMaxWell range of temperature measurement solutions, the TC-K8 is designed to integrate seamlessly with PID temperature controllers, temperature transmitters, and data acquisition systems.

TC-K14/J14

Bare tip temperature sensor type K/J

The TC-K14B is a fast-response K-type thermocouple engineered for applications where rapid, accurate temperature measurement is essential. Unlike conventional sheathed thermocouples, the TC-K14B features an exposed welded-bead junction with minimal thermal mass, enabling it to detect temperature changes within fractions of a second. This makes it the preferred choice for dynamic temperature monitoring tasks in research, testing, and industrial quality control environments. The sensor is constructed from a fine-gauge Chromel-Alumel (K-type) thermocouple wire pair, twisted together and insulated with a flexible fiberglass braid. The green-and-white color coding of the lead wire follows the international K-type thermocouple standard, providing clear polarity identification. The fiberglass insulation offers excellent thermal resistance and flexibility, allowing the sensor to be routed through confined spaces and around complex geometries without risk of insulation damage. At the instrument end, the TC-K14B is fitted with a standard miniature K-type quick-disconnect connector (green housing, labeled 'K NiCr+ / NiAl−'), which is compatible with a wide range of handheld thermometers, data loggers, and temperature indicators that accept the IEC 60584 / ANSI miniature thermocouple connector standard. The plug-and-play design eliminates the need for field wiring, enabling rapid deployment and sensor replacement without tools or specialist knowledge. The lead wire length is fully customizable, making the TC-K14B adaptable to installations where the measurement point is located at a significant distance from the instrument. As part of the PIDMaxWell range of temperature measurement solutions, the TC-K14B is designed to integrate seamlessly with PIDMaxWell PID temperature controllers, temperature transmitters, and compatible third-party instrumentation.
