Thermocouples are analog temperature sensors, which means that their output data must be interpreted and converted. In the case of thermocouples, the voltage output is calibrated to account for electromotive force (EMF) and the temperature curve of each thermocouple construction

Type S

It is considered as either Platinum/Rhodium or 10%/Platinum thermocouple. Thermocouple grade wire – -58F to 2700F (-500C to 14800C)

Type E

It is a mix of Nickel Chromium/Constantan. Thermocouple grade wire – -454F to 1600F (-2700C to 8700C)

Type T

It is a mix of Copper/Constantan.

Thermocouple grade wire – -454F to 700F (-2700C to 3700C)

Type J

It is a mix of Iron/Constantan. This is also the most used type of thermocouple. Thermocouple grade wire – -346F to 1400F (-2100C to 7600C)

Type K

This is also termed as Nickel-Chromium/Nickel- Alumel type of thermocouple. Thermocouple grade wire – -454F to 2300F (-2700C to 12600C)
