ok, I guarantee you that for Type anything, the two wires are different - that is how a thermocouple works, the joint between the 2 different wires creates a very tiny voltage difference.
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.
