Industrial & Instrumentation Cables

Product overview

Looking for a reliable and durable temperature sensing solution? The K-Type Thermocouple Cable is the most widely used thermocouple type in industrial and commercial applications due to its wide temperature range, fast response, and long-term stability.

Made from chromel (Nickel-Chromium) and alumel (Nickel-Aluminium), this cable operates efficiently in environments ranging from –200°C to +1260°C, making it ideal for both high and low-temperature conditions. It generates accurate voltage signals based on temperature differences using the Seebeck effect.

This cable is available in a variety of insulation materials such as PTFE, FEP, fiberglass, and silicone, offering excellent protection against heat, chemicals, and mechanical wear. With flexible and robust construction, it’s suitable for furnaces, ovens, power plants, petrochemical units, food processing, and metal treatment industries.

Whether you’re monitoring high-temperature furnaces or ensuring precise control in laboratory settings, the K-Type Thermocouple Cable ensures consistent and dependable performance.
