Type K Thermocouple Probe (2.2m Shaft)

This Type K thermocouple is a key piece of kit for anyone needing to measure high temperatures in industrial settings. It's designed to give accurate readings, extending your reach into tricky spots like flue gas ducts or furnace atmospheres.

Having a reliable, long-reach thermocouple when commissioning industrial plant or checking emissions is crucial for getting it right the first time, especially when dealing with hot and hard-to-access sampling points on an Australian rooftop or plant floor.

Best For

• Emissions monitoring and compliance checks
• Industrial plant commissioning and efficiency monitoring
• Measuring furnace atmosphere and flue gas temperatures
• Checking flue gas cleaning systems

Compatibility

This 2.2m Type K thermocouple is designed as an accessory to extend your existing setup. It's directly compatible with:

• Testo Industrial Probe Set 1200 °C (SKU 0600 7610)
• Testo Heated Industrial Probe Set (SKU 0600 7630)

While the thermocouple itself is rated for up to 1370 °C, the maximum operating temperature will be limited by the probe set it's used with, typically 1200 °C for compatible Testo industrial probes. If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• Type K Sensor: Provides reliable and widely compatible temperature measurement.
• Extended Reach: Features a long 2.2m probe shaft, perfect for accessing large diameter sampling sites or deep into furnaces.
• Robust Build: Housed in durable metal with a 2mm diameter probe shaft, designed to withstand demanding industrial environments.
• System Extension: Allows you to extend compatible industrial probe sets for simultaneous and accurate temperature readings.
• Wide Temperature Range: Rated up to 1370 °C for the thermocouple element, ensuring performance in high-heat applications.

Technical Specifications

What's in the Box

• 1 x Type K Thermocouple (2.2m probe shaft length)

Using It on the Job

1. Ensure your compatible industrial probe set (e.g., Testo 0600 7610 or 0600 7630) is clean and ready for use.
2. Carefully fit the Type K thermocouple onto the industrial probe set, ensuring a secure mechanical and electrical connection.
3. Connect the 4m thermocouple lead to your compatible measuring instrument or analyser.
4. Insert the extended probe into the furnace, flue gas duct, or other sampling site, positioning the sensor tip for an accurate and representative reading.
5. Monitor temperature readings, always being mindful of the maximum specified temperature for your probe set (e.g., 1200°C) and the thermocouple itself (1370°C), adhering to the lower limit.
6. After use, carefully retract the probe, allow it to cool completely, and clean any residue before storing the thermocouple and probe set in their protective cases.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• This thermocouple is specifically designed for use with compatible industrial probe sets. Ensure proper fitment before operation.
• While the thermocouple element can withstand up to 1370°C, the practical maximum operating temperature is generally limited to 1200°C when used with compatible probe sets.
• Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as heat-resistant gloves and eye protection, when working with high-temperature applications.
• Allow the probe to cool fully before handling or storing to prevent serious burns.
• Follow all Australian workplace safety standards and manufacturer guidelines when using this equipment in industrial environments.

Tradie Pro Tip: When you're doing emissions work, especially on larger industrial plant, that extra 2.2m of probe length can save you from reaching into awkward spots. It makes getting your readings accurate and repeatable a lot easier, particularly if you're battling high heat and tight access.

Pair With

Pair with compatible industrial probe sets like the Testo 0600 7610 or 0600 7630, and a suitable Testo analyser for comprehensive emissions testing and plant efficiency monitoring.
