This thermocouple is for kilns used for firing ceramics as it has the highest temperature rating of any K type thermocouple. It is designed for operating continuously at 2300 °F (1300 °C), or the cone 6-temperature. This high quality OEM probe is the same probe used in many US made commercial kilns.
The thermocouple is supplied with a probe, ceramic terminal block and 6 ft thermocouple extension wire.
This thermocouple is designed for use with electric kilns. To be used with a fuel heated kiln (reducing environment, like gas/propane burners), you need to use an additional ceramic sheath for this thermocouple at the same time (TC-K-KLNSH).
Two different probe wire diameters are offered, gauges 11 and 8. The gauge 11 wire probe has faster response time for more precision temperature control. On the other hand, the gauge 8 wire probe is the most durable out of all our K type probes. It is the thickest wire available for the K type probe (0.128 inch, or 3.25 mm OD). Please select the probe wire diameter above when ordering.
Note 1: the included sensor cable comes with free ends with no connectors. If you need connectors, please find here: yellow mini connector, green connector for AT100.
Note 2: This mounting plate is designed to be installed outside of the oven, under ambient temp.
