Thermocouple for ceramic kiln.

Please make sure you are buying the right one. 4 k type kiln thermocouple 3 16 ceramic insulators fit 1 4 kiln hole this is a high temperature k type kiln thermocouple for use with ceramic or glass kilns. The length is determined by the thickness of a kiln s wall and the diameter is the insertion point of the thermocouple in your kiln. Metal sheathed type k thermocouples.

This heavy duty kiln thermocouple can measure very high temperatures up to 2372 f 1300 c. Therefore thermocouples are not plug in compatible interchangeable with one another. Upgrades and add ons. The controller uses the information it receives from the thermocouple and makes decisions on whether or not to turn the element on or off.

A thermocouple is a component of the kiln used to read the temperature within the kiln chamber. While type k thermocouples are all the same electrically the kiln manufacturers use different styles lengths diameters and also add mounting hardware for particular applications. These have a metallic sheath on the outside of the thermocouple and are 1 4 od.

Kiln k type thermocouple with 6 pcs one inch ceramic tube insulator measuring temperature up to 2372 f 1300 c 6 pcs ceramic insulator diameter oval shape. We still use them on our glass kilns but we can no longer source ones that work well at ceramic temperatures. If you are replacing one of these on a ceramic kiln you will need to use the standard type k thermocouple instructions and drill out the thermocouple hole in the brick to accommodate the 1 2 inch thermocouple. L 12 3 mm w 10mm l 0 5 w 0 4 length 6 thread material cr ni al ni.

Often you will find thermocouples protected in a porcelain sleeve like on skutt kilns or in a tube as in the case of l l kilns. Our standard type k thermocouples come with a ceramic thermocouple protection tube. It is 4 1 4 inches long and has 4 ceramic insulators each 1 inch long and 3 16 in. 6 pcs ceramic type k thermocouple block ceramic kiln probe sensor 2372 f 8g cone temperature.

Thicker wire lasts longer but is more expensive and more difficult to work with. The thickness of the wire is only important inside the kiln.
