Thermocouples: Gauging interest

[sunshadow]

I have a possibility for getting a whole pile of Type K thermocouples (used once in a lab environment then changed out) for quite cheap. Is there any interest in this?
I'd probably be able to pass them on for around $5.00 each if there's interest.

I know what that is, but I've only seen then used in flat bricks with a hot and cold side. Are these different? Uses? Voltage / wiring needed to use?

 

[Doc Shipley]

I'd be interested, probably in 3 or 4 if they come available soon.

I could use a couple.
I'm guessing they're good to 2000F?

they are typically used in conjunction with a PID controller for temperature control or with an electronic temperature readout for kiln temperature monitoring

Ah. I'm thinking of something with the same principals but on a much smaller scale.

the actual measuring part is about 1/16-1/8 inch diameter, they are typically on about 2 feet of wire. I have one sticking through 2 little holes in the side of my heat treat kiln, and another stuck in my casting burnout kiln, they both run the PID controllers that run my kilns

I have a stash that I bought today that will more than cover the inquiries so far, I will buy the rest tomorrow which should give a supply for quite a long time!
