Overview
The Omega XCIB-K-4-2-10 is a fiber-insulated K-type thermocouple probe designed for high-temperature industrial measurement. This model features 20-gauge solid conductor wires protected by braided Nextel® ceramic insulation and a rugged Inconel 600® overbraid for extreme durability and thermal stability. Rated for continuous operation up to 980°C (1800°F) with short-term capability to 1090°C (2000°F), the XCIB-K-4-2-10 excels in furnace profiling, thermal processing, and demanding measurement environments where precision and reliability are non-negotiable.
