* Add thermocouple length as the suffix. Multiples of 6 inches (152.4 mm) starting at 12 inches (304.8 mm) are considered stock.
Richards Thermocouple elements can be designed in many configurations. Some of the more common Types and forms are shown on these
pages. If you nee a special type, phone one of our sales engineers and we can make them to your specifications. The part numbers below
describe the thermocouple element type, wire gauge, method of insulation, and construction.
Example:
The part number
8K2-36
signifies an 8 gauge (3.3 mm), Type K, oval ceramic insulated and 36 inch long (914.4 mm)
element. Also see figure # 2 for a representation of that particular thermocouple element.
