Thermocouple – Industrial Temperature Sensor & Probe Options

A thermocouple is one of the most widely used temperature sensors in industry. Thanks to its durable structure, it is commonly preferred in industrial furnaces, heat treatment, plastics processing, energy applications and automation lines. This page summarizes thermocouple types, probe selection, and the key details needed for a fast quotation.

Thermocouple Types & Selection Guide

Correct thermocouple selection mainly depends on the temperature range and the process environment (chemical/mechanical conditions). The most common types are:

• Type K Thermocouple: general-purpose use from -200°C to +1200°C, strong price/performance balance.
• Type J Thermocouple: an economical alternative, widely used in mid-range temperature applications.
• Type S Thermocouple: Platinum/Rhodium based, for very high temperatures and stability-critical furnace applications.
• Type T Thermocouple: suitable for low temperatures down to -200°C and special applications.

Thermocouple Probe Manufacturing & Features

For efficient measurement, it’s not only the type that matters. You should also select the right probe length, probe diameter (affects response time), and a suitable protective sheath (metal/ceramic) for your process. Custom-size thermocouple probe manufacturing is available based on your requirements.

Thermocouple Price & Quotation Criteria

Thermocouple prices vary depending on the selected type, probe dimensions, protection structure and connection hardware. To receive a fast and accurate quote, please share the following:

1. Application type and maximum temperature.
2. Requested thermocouple type (if unknown, describe the operating conditions).
3. Probe length, diameter and immersion length.
4. Connection preference (head, terminal block, connector or cable outlet).

Frequently Asked Questions (Shipping & Sales)

Do you manufacture custom sizes (length/diameter)?

Yes. For non-standard dimensions, you can add a note to your order or send a technical drawing. Custom production is available depending on the application.

When will my order be shipped?

In-stock items are typically shipped the same day or the next business day. Lead times for custom production may vary depending on the product type and quantity.

Is there an exchange/return if I choose the wrong product?

Return/exchange conditions apply for standard products. Different conditions may apply for made-to-order or custom-produced items.
