Dayton Type K Thermocouple Probe

The Dayton 36GK72 is a grounded Type K thermocouple probe designed for temperature measurement in air, gas or liquid applications. It features a 1/8 inch diameter probe that extends 18 inches with an 18 inch cable terminated by a mini plug. The unit includes 1/4 inch and 1/8 inch MNPT fittings for installation. It operates across a range of -325 to 2,280 degrees Fahrenheit.

Suits technicians needing a replaceable sensor

This probe suits HVAC technicians and maintenance engineers who need a grounded Type K sensor with standard pipe-thread fittings for direct immersion. The transparent colour aids visual inspection of the cable condition. Buyers who require an ungrounded junction for electrical isolation, a different thermocouple type such as Type J or T, or a connector other than a mini plug should look at other models.

Temperature range defines the application window

The single specification that decides fit is the operating range of -325 to 2,280 degrees Fahrenheit (-200 to 1,250 degrees Celsius). This span covers cryogenic gases through to high-temperature industrial processes. If the process temperature falls outside these limits, the probe will not survive or read accurately, so confirm the range matches the intended service before purchase.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the Type K probe withstand during continuous use?

The probe operates from -325 degrees F to 2,280 degrees F, or -200 degrees C to 1,250 degrees C.

What connection does my meter need for the mini plug on this probe?

Your thermometer or data logger must accept a standard Type K mini connector.

Will the 1/4 in MNPT fitting thread into the same ports as my older 1/8 in NPT sensors?

No, the probe includes both 1/4 in and 1/8 in MNPT fittings; match the fitting to the port size you have.
