Overview
The OMEGA NB1-ICSS-316G-12 Type J thermocouple probe is a rugged industrial temperature sensor designed for continuous process monitoring and control. This thermocouple combines proven Type J accuracy with the durability of 304 stainless steel construction, making it suitable for manufacturing, HVAC, food processing, and other temperature-critical applications. The NB1 series features an industrial-grade protection head with 1/2″ NPT thread, standard internal terminal block, and fast sensor response for dynamic temperature measurement.
Key Features
- Type J thermocouple with temperature range of 0°C to 620°C (32°F to 1,148°F)
