K type thermocouple cable information

A Type K thermocouple cable is a widely used temperature measurement tool,composed of two different metal alloys:chromel(nickel-chromium)for the positive leg andalumel(nickel-aluminum)for the negative leg.Here are some key characteristics and applications of Type K thermocouple cables:

Characteristics

• Temperature Range:Type K thermocouples have a broad operating range from-270°C to+1260°C(-454°F to 2300°F),making them suitable for both low and high-temperature measurements.

• Accuracy:

• Class 1:±1.5°C or 0.4%of the reading(whichever is greater).

• Class 2:±2.5°C or 0.75%of the reading.

• Color Code:The positive leg is typically yellow(or green in some international standards),and the negative leg is red(or white).

• Environmental Resistance:Type K thermocouples are durable in oxidizing atmospheres and have good corrosion resistance,but they are not suitable for reducing atmospheres or environments containing sulfur.

Applications

• Industrial Applications:Type K thermocouples are extensively used in industries such as steel manufacturing,petrochemicals,and food processing for measuring temperatures in furnaces,kilns,engines,and boilers.

• Laboratory and Scientific Research:They are used in laboratories for general temperature measurements due to their wide range and reliability.

• Nuclear Applications:Type K thermocouples are popular in nuclear environments because of their relative radiation hardness.

Advantages

• Wide Temperature Range:Suitable for both low and high-temperature measurements.

• Cost-Effective:Type K thermocouples are relatively inexpensive compared to other types like platinum-based thermocouples.

• Versatility:Available in various probe types and configurations,making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Limitations

• Susceptibility to Oxidation:At temperatures above 800°C,oxidation can cause drift and decalibration.

• Not Suitable for Reducing Atmospheres:Type K thermocouples should be protected by a suitable sheath in reducing or sulfur-containing atmospheres.

Type K thermocouple cables are a popular choice for their wide temperature range,reliability,and versatility,making them suitable for a variety of industrial and scientific applications.
