LABFACILITY Type K Disc Thermocouple, PTFE Insulated, 3m

The LABFACILITY Z2-K-3M DISC (IEC) is a precision fine wire disc thermocouple, engineered for fast, accurate surface temperature measurement. Its design features a 6.35mm copper disc termination, allowing for direct, stable contact with the surface being monitored. This termination style is ideal for achieving optimal thermal transfer and a rapid response time.

The thermocouple utilises a Type K (chromel–alumel) twin-twist Class 1 cable wire, providing high accuracy and a wide operational temperature range. The wires are insulated with durable PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), offering excellent chemical resistance, flexibility, and thermal stability, making it suitable for demanding industrial and laboratory environments.

Key Applications

This sensor is perfectly suited for instrumentation and process control where reliable surface temperature data is critical. Its fast response characteristic makes it an excellent choice for monitoring temperatures on machinery components, chemical process vessels, laboratory equipment, and electronic assemblies. The 3-metre cable length provides ample flexibility for installation and connection to data loggers, controllers, or indicator units.
