Type J Thermocouples for Industrial Applications
Type J is selectable on the MI-37 and Special Coated PTFE assemblies and is listed for the WP-73 pipe-surface contact thermocouple. Compare each product's published choices with your measurement requirements.
Available assemblies
Type J and Selectable J/K Assemblies
MI-37 and the PTFE assembly offer selectable J or K; WP-73 lists J among its supported sensor types for pipe-surface contact measurement. Check each product page before ordering.
Selectable J or K
Mineral Insulated Thermocouple
MI-37 lists J or K type, grounded or ungrounded junctions, SS316 or Inconel 600 sheath choices, and 4.7 mm or 6.35 mm diameters—useful details to compare with the other assembly's options.

Type J Thermocouple Questions
Which products list Type J?
MI-37 and the Special Coated PTFE thermocouple list J as selectable; WP-73 lists J among its supported types for pipe-surface contact measurement. Their other options are not interchangeable.
What details matter?
Check junction, sheath, diameter, insertion length, cable and termination against the selected product and process.
Is there one universal range?
Confirm the selected assembly's range and conditions; any compliance requirements need separate confirmation.
Selection checklist
Specify the Complete Measurement Point
Type J identifies the thermocouple calibration, but the assembly must also match the installation. Share the actual process and mounting details for configuration review.
- Process conditionsState the normal and maximum temperature and the process environment.
- Sheath and dimensionsConfirm required material, diameter and insertion length.
- Junction and assemblyChoose grounded or ungrounded and simplex or duplex only where the product lists those options.
- Termination and mountingDescribe the head, connector, cable and process connection required.
