Overview
The Omega P031554740Z Type K thermocouple is a durable industrial temperature sensor engineered for immersion measurement in liquids, gases, and surfaces. Built on Type K calibration (Chromel-Alumel conductors), this probe offers the wide operating range and cost-effectiveness that makes Type K the most popular thermocouple in manufacturing, HVAC, and process control environments. The molded quick-disconnect connector enables rapid sensor swaps without costly downtime.
Key Features
