We still use them on our glass kilns but we can no longer source ones that work well at ceramic temperatures. This heavy duty kiln thermocouple can measure very high temperatures up to 2372 f 1300 c. Upgrades and add ons. Kiln k type thermocouple with 6 pcs one inch ceramic tube insulator measuring temperature up to 2372 f 1300 c 6 pcs ceramic insulator diameter oval shape.

If you are replacing one of these on a ceramic kiln you will need to use the standard type k thermocouple instructions and drill out the thermocouple hole in the brick to accommodate the 1 2 inch thermocouple. Metal sheathed type k thermocouples. Glass metal clay kilns. Our standard type k thermocouples come with a ceramic thermocouple protection tube.

Thicker wire lasts longer but is more expensive and more difficult to work with. Thermocouples can come braided as with the thermocouples for amaco front. A thermocouple is a component of the kiln used to read the temperature within the kiln chamber. The controller uses the information it receives from the thermocouple and makes decisions on whether or not to turn the element on or off.
