The K-type thermocouple is a widely used temperature sensor made from nickel-chromium/nickel-aluminum (Ni-Cr/Ni-Al) alloys. It is designed to measure temperatures in a range from 0 to 600 degrees Celsius. Known for its versatility and accuracy, the K-type thermocouple is used in various industrial, scientific, and home applications. It provides reliable temperature readings and is suitable for high-temperature environments.
