Overview
The CAPP/USA K-Type thermocouple 593825 is a precision temperature measurement sensor designed for industrial, commercial, and laboratory environments. The CAPP/USA 593825 employs chromel-alumel (nickel-chromium/nickel-aluminum) conductor materials, making it one of the most widely adopted thermocouple types in manufacturing and process control.
Key Features
- Base metal construction — Made from Nickel-Chromium (+) and Nickel-Aluminium (–) conductors, widely used due to their accuracy and broad temperature range
- Wide temperature range — Typically from -200°C to 1,260°C (-328°F to 2,300°F), depending on the process and sheath material
- Industry-standard output — Typically generates around 39–43 µV/°C depending on the measured temperature
- Oxidizing environment tolerance — Suitable for oxidizing, inert, and dry atmospheres
- Used/refurbished condition — Fully functional unit, inspected and ready for deployment
Technical Specifications

- Positive Leg Material: Chromel (Nickel-Chromium)
- Negative Leg Material: Alumel (Nickel-Aluminum)
- Operating Temperature Range: -200°C to 1260°C (-328°F to 2300°F)
- Sensitivity: Approximately 41 µV/°C
- Standard Accuracy: ±2.2°C or ±0.75% of reading (whichever is greater)
- Condition: Used
- Model: 593825
Typical Applications
- Metal processing — Monitoring and control of temperatures in annealing, carburizing, hardening, and tempering processes; stability at elevated temperatures and resistance to oxidation make them suitable for continuous operation in high-heat environments
- Combustion monitoring — Temperature monitoring within combustion zones is vital for optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions; K-Type thermocouples are often embedded in burner assemblies or turbine exhaust systems due to their ability to withstand rapid thermal cycling and vibration
- Food processing and pharmaceuticals — K-Type thermocouples ensure that sterilization cycles meet required thermal exposure standards (e.g., HACCP or FDA guidelines)
- Furnace and kiln monitoring
- General laboratory and research applications
