- Type J Elements – Basic elements for further assembly into sheaths or equipment.
Thermocouple Type J Technical Details
Type J thermocouples are good in both reducing and oxidizing atmospheres. Type J has a slightly higher sensitivity than Type K at about 50 µV/°C.
J type thermocouple sensor is a very common type. It is most suited for lower temperatures than Type K at a similar cost.
