A simple solution to an old problem with ceramic insulated K-type thermocouples
High temperature K-type Thermocouples like the model PK-1000 always had one problem: how do you
secure the fibers at the tip? For low temperatures a PE plastic shrink
tube can be used, but for probes that have to withstand 1800 degrees F
(1000 degree Celsius) that is not a solution, the plastic would just
melt and burn off. All kinds of ceramic glue or cement have been tried,
but they did not work well. We now came up with an excellent
solution: We use a thin metal wire and tightly

New thermocouple connectors
In the past we specialized in k-type thermocouples and thermocouple thermometers. We now have added other, hard to find thermocouples and thermocouple connectors. We start with a range of standard round connectors. These are k-type, J-type or T-type thermocouple connectors. They have round prongs, one a little larger than the other. The connectors are made from compensating metal, the same metal combinations that are used in the thermocouple wire. This reduces errors in the measurement. These st

New Digital k-type thermometer that measures very low and very high temperatures - DT1311
We just added a new k-type thermocouple thermometer, the
model DT1311. I am very excited about this, because it has a much larger
measurement range than other k-type thermometer. Most k-type thermometer measure only from
-58 °F to 1999 °F, but this has the full range from
-328 °F to 2498 °F (-200 °C to 1370 °C). This thermometer is great for everybody working
with metals in a foundry, furnaces or high temperature kilns. I also have sold it to customers who are knife makers and harden s

We try to make emergency deliveries possible.
A
customer called Friday afternoon at 4:30 and requested a light meter LX821

delivered it as promised at 11:45 on Saturday morning. We always try
to make these emergency deliveries possible. If you need a meter
quickly, contact us using the contact form on this website and we wi
