Product Information
Full details
This Reeatel K-type thermocouple sensor (MPN: 750047070) is designed for professionals and hobbyists working with high-temperature environments like ceramic kilns and furnaces. Its primary benefit is accurate temperature measurement up to 2372°F (1300°C), enabling precise control over critical processes. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, requiring a compatible temperature controller to utilize its full capabilities.

FAQs
What is the maximum temperature this sensor can measure?
This K-type thermocouple can measure temperatures up to 2372°F (1300°C).
What is the minimum temperature it can measure?
The minimum measurable temperature is -58°F (-50°C).
What type of equipment do I need to use this sensor?
You will need a temperature controller or a multimeter that has a compatible K-type thermocouple input.
Can I use this sensor outdoors?
While it can measure high temperatures, ensure the connections and the wire are protected from moisture and extreme weather conditions if used outdoors.
How long is the sensor wire?
The total length of the sensor, including the insulated wire, is 215mm (8.5 inches).
Is the sensor probe flexible?
The sensor wire is somewhat flexible, but the probe itself should not be bent sharply to avoid damage.
What is the wire diameter?
The wire diameter is 3.2mm.
Troubleshooting
Inaccurate or erratic temperature readings
Check that the thermocouple is correctly connected to the controller (positive/negative). Inspect the sensor wire and insulation for damage. Ensure the sensor is not placed too close to direct heat sources that could cause localized overheating.
Controller shows an open circuit or error code
Verify that the thermocouple is securely connected at both the sensor end and the controller end. The wire might be broken internally or at the connection point.
Sensor not reaching expected temperatures
Confirm the sensor is positioned correctly within the heated area and that the heating elements are functioning properly. Ensure the temperature controller is set to the desired setpoint and is capable of reaching the target temperature.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Suitable for extreme temperatures.
- Robust wire diameter for durability.
- Extended length for flexible placement.
- Standard K-type for broad compatibility with controllers.
Cons
- Requires a compatible temperature controller or meter.
- Not suitable for applications below -58°F.
- Sensor element is exposed and may require additional protection in certain atmospheres.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the K-type thermocouple to the corresponding inputs on your temperature controller or measurement device.
- Ensure the sensor probe is positioned appropriately within the high-temperature environment, avoiding direct contact with elements where possible unless specifically intended.
- Calibrate the sensor reading with your controller if necessary, following the controller's manual.
Compatibility:
- Requires a temperature controller or multimeter with K-type thermocouple input.
- Ensure the controller's temperature range and accuracy specifications meet the requirements of your application.
Care:
- Avoid bending the probe sharply, especially near the insulation.
- Keep the probe clean. Remove any residue with a dry or slightly damp cloth after cooling.
- Protect the probe from corrosive atmospheres if your application involves them, potentially using a ceramic sheath or thermowell.
- Inspect regularly for any signs of damage to the wire or insulation.
