LABFACILITY Type K Mineral Insulated Thermocouple Probe, 150mm, -40°C to 1100°C

The LABFACILITY KMI/1.5X150 (IEC) is a precision Type K thermocouple probe designed for robust and reliable temperature measurement in demanding industrial environments. Constructed with a mineral insulated (MI) sheath and a 310 stainless steel exterior, it offers excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of processes, including those in sulphur-bearing atmospheres.

Its highly flexible 1.5mm diameter sheath can be bent or formed on-site to fit specific application requirements, ensuring optimal sensor placement. The probe features an insulated hot junction, with a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +1100°C, providing accurate readings across diverse thermal conditions.

Key Features & Construction

• Sensor Type: Type K (Nickel Chromium / Nickel Aluminium) compliant with IEC 584 standards.
• Sheath & Insulation: Durable 310 stainless steel mineral insulated probe for physical protection and fast thermal response.
• Electrical Protection: The single sensing element is insulated from the sheath, offering protection against spurious electrical signals and ground loops.
• Seal & Termination: Features an M8 x 1.0mm fine pitch threaded pot seal rated for temperatures up to 200°C. It terminates in 100mm of highly flexible, colour-coded PFA insulated twin twisted wire (7/0.2mm) for easy connection.

Typical Applications

This versatile thermocouple is ideally suited for temperature monitoring and control in numerous industrial settings, including:

• Brick and cement kilns
• The glass manufacturing industry
• Heat treatment and annealing furnaces
• Power generation stations
• Flue gas and exhaust monitoring
• Heat exchangers and process piping
