Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does the job. The company i work for uses these for process controls they last a long time and are very reliable.
Date published: 2016-04-14
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good usability but probe has surface scratches. Good construction overall, and good response measuring water. My only critique is that the probe seems to have very apparent machining/grinding marks on it, perhaps from its manufacturing process. Don't expect it to be glass smooth.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Thermocouple probe for Wood-Firing ceramics Best thermocouple probe that I have ever seen for wood-firing (wood-fired pottery kiln)
Date published: 2022-08-08
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Well Made TC This is a very well made thermocouple. The sheath is machined to high precision, and the response to temperature change is fairly quick.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect High quality. Fits our needs. Direct replacement for our equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent product Thermocouples work great and are as advetised. We have been purchasing from Omega on and off for many decades as our need for thermocouples is sporadic. But when we need them, we go to Omega.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Customer service lacking Called customer service and was promptly directed to the website first and then if I have any issues to call back. Product is awesome though.

What pressure are these thermocouples rated for?

Asked by: Ellie2022
Thank you for your inquiry Ellie2022. To expand on my previous answer, the sealed metal sheath portion of probe is pressure rated for G or U junctions, but not for E since G and U can be used with a compression fitting. The TJ spring section is not pressure rated.

What length needs to be inserted into the process for an accurate reading with a 6inch probe?

Asked by: Peter00
Hi Peter, considering the thermocouple sensor is at the tip of the probe, it would be safe to assume 0.5-1 inch would be needed to get an accurate reading.

Hi, What is the max temperature rating for the wire that connects the probe to the K-type connector? It looks like plastic shielding on the wire and I don't want to melt it.

Asked by: SLC1
Thank you for your inquiry. The max temperature the wire can handle is 260C (500F)

Can these be attached to a 2.5mm jack for use with a wireless bbq style type thermometer?

Asked by: Schwonkhead
Hi Schwonkhead, If your thermometer accepts a type K thermocouple then possibly yes. You'll need to check the wireless thermometer input specifications. Best regards OMEGA

I am looking for 2 stainless steel temperature probes to go into a 55 gallon drum that’s height  is 34 inches. I want to hook it to a controller to manage a heating blanket  to maintain a temperature between 68 to 75°F. What Would you recommend

Asked by: Deldoochy
This would need to be reviewed with a Temperature Engineer due to the complexity so please send an inquiry to temp@omega.com.

can these probes be bent? will bending them effect the readings?

Asked by: Daniel246
Hello and thank you for contacting Omega. Yes, we can confirm that these probes are bendable to 90 degrees and that the bend will not affect the readings. We suggest a bending radius of 0.33” or larger. Please contact our Tech Support if you have any further questions.

How to determine accuracy of TJ36-? Not sure if listed special limits apply. Multiple configs: K or J, 316SS, varied sheath diameter & length, standard wire/length, grounded, SMPW-M, single & dual probes

Asked by: SpecialStandard
Thank you for your inquiry SpecialStandard. The accuracy (tolerance) is determine by the Special Limits of Error according to the ASTM E230-ANSI MC 96.1. Please check the following link in page H-2 for the thermocouple tolerances for each thermocouple: https://assets.omega.com/landing-pages/colorcodes/tc_colorcodes.pdf. The tolerance only applies to probes.
