Thermocouple

Industrial Thermocouples for Temperature Measurement and Control

IHCo thermocouples provide accurate, responsive temperature measurement for industrial equipment and processes. Available in Type J and Type K calibrations, our thermocouples support surface, immersion, and high-temperature applications across plastics processing, packaging, food processing, wire and cable production, and other industrial environments.

Choose from fixed or adjustable configurations, multiple probe styles, termination options, and lead constructions to meet your equipment, installation, and operating temperature requirements.

IHCo industrial thermocouples support temperature measurement and control across a range of manufacturing equipment and processes, including:

  • Injection molding machines
  • Plastic extruders
  • Packaging and food processing machinery
  • Wire and cable production
  • Metal heating systems
  • High-temperature industrial systems
  • Surface temperature measurement
  • Immersion temperature measurement

Type J and Type K Options

Available in Type J (iron/constantan) and Type K (chromel/alumel) calibrations to accommodate different temperature ranges and industrial applications.

Multiple Probe Configurations

Choose from straight, 45°, and 90° probe configurations to accommodate equipment geometry, access limitations, and installation requirements.

Fixed and Adjustable Designs

Fixed and adjustable bayonet, compression, spade, surface, bolt, plastic melt, and mineral-insulated styles provide options for a variety of temperature measurement requirements.

Flexible Lead and Termination Options

Thermocouples can be configured with stainless steel braid, fiberglass braid, armored cable, and other lead options, with stripped leads, lugs, plugs, or jacks available for electrical termination.

High-Temperature Capability

Available configurations support operating temperatures up to 800°F for Type J thermocouples with fiberglass insulation and up to 2,300°F for Type K high-temperature configurations.

IHCo thermocouples are available in multiple styles and configurations to accommodate different equipment, mounting, temperature, and connection requirements.
