What are the common applications of Type J thermocouples?
Type J thermocouples are widely used in industries where cost-effectiveness, good sensitivity, and moderate temperature ranges are key. Below are the most common applications:
- Injection Molding Machines – Monitors barrel and nozzle temperatures.
- Extrusion Processes – Measures melt temperatures in extruders.
- Thermoforming – Ensures proper heating of plastic sheets.
- Cooking & Baking Equipment – Tracks temperatures in ovens, fryers, and sterilizers.
- Pasteurization – Ensures safe heating of liquids.
- Food Packaging Machines – Monitors heat-sealing processes.
- Furnaces & Kilns – Used in low to medium-temperature industrial heating (below 540°C / 1000°F).
- Boilers & Heat Exchangers – Monitors steam and hot water systems.
-
Lab Ovens & Incubators – Temperature monitoring in research settings.
-
Welding Equipment – Measures heat in welding guns and tips.
-
Chemical Processing – Used in reactors where temperatures stay below 500°C.
