Type T is for measuring near room temperature.

Type K is for industrial processes - e.g. the exhaust ports or maybe the manifold.

Type T is what you want for air, coolant, gear oil etc.

The reader for a Type T is not workable with Type K and vice versa.

you can run 300 ft. of type T wire and still retain 0.1 oC accuracy - I have done it to measure the insides of bird eggs while they are being incubated and how cold or hot they get when the female leaves the nest.

I love that application.
