Thermocouples and fittings
One of the temperature sensors listed is the K type thermocouple. With a heat range
of -200 to 1260 deg c, these sensors are suitable for the hottest applications such as
brake rotor and exhaust temperatures. K-type thermocouples come in either an exposed
tip or an enclosed tip. Exposed tip is faster in measuring change in temperature but is more
susceptible to breakage from vibration or shock waves. Enclosed tip thermocouples are more
reliable but deliver a slower update rate of between three to eight times per second.
