Thermocouple Types Explained: K, J, T, E, N, S, R, B Comparison & Selection Guide
You need to replace a thermocouple — or spec one for a new line — and the catalog shows eight letters. K, J, T, E, N, S, R, B. Each has a different alloy pair, a different temperature ceiling, and a different set of environments where it thrives or fails. Most thermocouple-type references list those…
