Type K thermocouple TEK6L1600/LANCE

thermocouplelancethermocouple output

Summary
Type K thermocouple lance designed for immersion temperature readings in aluminum casting processes. Developed and manufactured by JEMAR TERMOMETRÍA, distributed by Suministros Payne. Specific configuration with Silon ceramic protection at a 45° angle to increase durability during immersion in molten metal.

Composition and elements included

• Silon ceramic shield Ø12 × 5 × 500 mm oriented at 45°
• Protective tube in AISI 316 stainless steel Ø8 × 1.000 mm
• Type K thermocouple with Inconel 600 sheath Ø4.5 × 1.600 mm
• PVC handle
• Type K cable, length 2.000 mm
• Mini male connector

Design description
The lance has been developed with a focus on durability in molten aluminum applications. The combination of a Silon ceramic shield, Inconel sheath and AISI 316 protective tube provides a solution intended to withstand immersion conditions. Service life depends on bath conditions, immersion frequency and duration, and equipment handling. When selecting the lance, consider the process and access to the measurement point.

Applications
The lance is designed to measure the temperature of liquid aluminum. Typical use points:

• Crucibles: temperature sampling of the aluminum bath during melting operations
• Holding furnaces: verification of liquid metal temperature
• Transfer ladles: measurement during aluminum transfer operations

Connection to the reading instrument
The Type K cable (2 meters) terminates in a mini male connector. The reading instrument must be compatible with Type K thermocouples and observe polarity.

Remarks
The indicated dimensions correspond to the components; they do not represent the total assembled length or the effective immersion depth. Suitability of the configuration should be evaluated according to alloy, service temperature, immersion depth and measurement frequency. For other metals or liquids, verify material compatibility before selecting the lance.
