Description
The Leaf Type K-Type Surface Thermocouple is specifically designed for measuring the temperature of flat surfaces such as dies, molds, hot plates, and metal tooling. Its 0.5 mm flat sensing tip maximizes contact area for fast and accurate surface temperature measurement without penetrating the material.
If your application requires insertion temperature measurement in liquids, powders, semi-solid materials, or process equipment, Aavad also offers Handle Type K-Type Thermocouples and K-Type Thermocouple Probes with pointed or rounded probe designs for direct insertion into the process.

FAQs
1. What is a Leaf Type K-Type Surface Thermocouple?
A Leaf Type K-Type Surface Thermocouple is a portable K-Type temperature sensor with a thin, flat sensing tip designed to measure the temperature of flat surfaces quickly and accurately. It provides fast response and reliable surface temperature measurement for industrial testing and inspection.
2. Why does a Leaf Type Thermocouple use a flat tip?
The flat 0.5 mm leaf tip increases the contact area between the sensor and the measured surface, providing faster thermal response and more representative temperature readings than a pointed probe when measuring smooth, flat surfaces.
3. What surfaces can this Thermocouple measure?
A Leaf Type K-Type Surface Thermocouple is ideal for measuring the temperature of dies, molds, hot plates, heated metal components, press tools, rollers, machine surfaces, and other flat industrial surfaces where direct surface contact is required.
4. Which industries use Leaf Type Thermocouples?
Leaf Type K-Type Surface Thermocouples are widely used in plastic processing, injection molding, metal forming, die manufacturing, laboratory testing, maintenance, and industrial quality control for accurate and reliable surface temperature measurement.
