Whilst this restriction does not legally apply to components, it is recognised that component “compliance” is relevant to many customers. Thermocouples are widely used in various industries for temperature monitoring and control applications. They are ideal tools for the measurement of high temperatures and are a popular choice as they are so robust, reliable and an affordable solution. and for components, the product is capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required by lead–free soldering There are a wide range of thermocouple types available, each with different characteristics such as temperature range and their robustness. Each thermocouple is defined by a letter such as K-Type. Common thermocouple types also include: Type J, Type K, Type L and Type T The product does not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the Directive,

EU Directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863 restrict the use of the 10 substances below in the manufacture of specified types of electrical equipment. Pumps – Bromic Waterboy™ pump systems offer complete solutions including Clean-Water Jet Pumps, Multi-Stage Pumps & Greywater. The voltage produced by the thermocouple can be read and measured by a voltmeter or a specialized temperature measurement device. By knowing the relationship between the temperature and the voltage output, typically described in a calibration table or equation specific to the type of thermocouple being used, the temperature at the measurement point can be determined.An insulated or ungrounded junction is where the thermocouple wires are welded together and fully covered by but isolated from the outer protective sheath. The advantage of this is that there is a reduction in electrical interference and a stable reading. What is Mineral Insulation? Type J Thermocouples (Iron-Constantan) have a smaller temperature range and a shorter lifespan at higher temperatures than the Type K but have the same reliability. Type J thermocouples are ideal for monitoring the temperatures of inert materials and in vacuum applications. Applications include heat processes such as the manufacturing of plastic and resin and in electrical furnaces The supplier of the item listed below has informed RS Components that the product is "RoHS Compliant". The restricted substances and maximum allowed concentrations in the homogenous material are, by weight: Substance From RS Pro a range of type J and Type K thermocouple temperature sensors or probes that conform to IEC 584 standards. These thermocouple temperature probes have a durable construction and feature a 310 stainless steel mineral insulated flexible sheath that can be bent and formed to suit a wide range of applications. The thermocouple has an insulated hot junction for a reduction in electrical interference. One end of the thermocouple is terminated with a compact KNE terminal head the gives protection to the connections How does a Thermocouple Work?
