Description
Temperature Thermocouple is a reliable and versatile K-Type temperature sensor designed for accurate temperature measurement across a wide range of industrial applications. Built using Chromel and Alumel thermoelectric conductors, this thermocouple operates on the Seebeck effect, generating a stable millivolt signal proportional to temperature for precise process monitoring from 0°C to 600°C.
One of the key advantages of the Model AKWS is its specified measurement accuracy of ±0.75%, allowing engineers and maintenance professionals to confidently select the sensor for applications where dependable temperature measurement is essential. The K-Type sensing element offers excellent stability, fast response, and long service life, making it one of the most widely used thermocouple types in industrial automation and process control.
The thermocouple features a 1000 mm SS316 stainless steel protection sheath, providing excellent resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and mechanical wear in industrial environments. Its adjustable 1/2″ BSP process connection enables flexible installation and precise insertion depth adjustment, while the IP65-rated die-cast aluminium terminal head protects internal electrical connections from dust and moisture for reliable outdoor and indoor operation.
Designed for continuous industrial use, the AKWS Temperature Thermocouple is suitable for manufacturing plants, furnaces, boilers, HVAC systems, food processing equipment, power generation facilities, and general process temperature monitoring. Its rugged construction, maintenance-free operation, and ability to operate without an external power supply make it an economical and dependable solution for industrial temperature measurement.
