Type N is a relativity new thermocouple type that was made to be an alternative to Type K. It has high stability over time but is more costly than type K at similar temperature ranges. Its sensitivity is about 39 µV/°C, slightly lower compared to type K.
Key Features
High long-term stability at elevated temperatures
Better resistance to oxidation and drift than Type K
Sensitivity of approx. 39 µV/°C
Suitable for wide temperature ranges with improved accuracy
Reliable performance in harsh and high-temperature environments
Applications
High-temperature industrial furnaces and kilns
Petrochemical and chemical processing
Power generation and turbine exhaust monitoring
Heat-treatment and metallurgical applications
Environments requiring minimal sensor drift over time
