Unique OMEGA™ family of high temperature types J, K, E or N thermocouples are double-protected with abrasion-resistant Inconel overbraid with high temperature ceramic fiber insulation. A temperature rating of 980°C (1800°F)continuous service and 1090°C (2000°F) short-term service makes these products ideal for many high temperature measurement applications. They are unexcelled for profiling ovens and furnaces. The 20-gage solid conductor thermocouple wires are insulated with braided Nextel® ceramic Over the ceramic fiber is a rugged overbraid of Inconel 600® –a tough, high-temperature, high nickel content alloy. Five convenient styles are available in 3 ft. and 10 ft. lengths for high temperature measurement applications.

Probe Style
Style 1 | ![]() | A grounded junction thermocouple with the Inconel overbraid welded to form a smooth rounded tip for all general purpose applications. |
Style 2 | ![]() | A general purpose, bead welded, exposed junction thermocouple. |
Style 3 | ![]() | An exposed junction, bead welded junction thermocouple with an Inconel collar to clamp the probe to a surface, or to secure it into a hole or any fabrication. |
Style 4 | ![]() | Grounded junction. It can be bolted to a surface, or the Inconel eye can hook the thermocouple to a conveyor flight. Ungrounded junction versions are available. Contact sales for more information. |
Style 5 | ![]() | Has an Inconel air hood to protect the beaded wire exposed junction. This design can be clamped to a surface, hooked to a conveyor flight, or bolted to a surface by using the through hole at the open end of the hood. |

Out-of-box accuracy issue
This item seems well built, and came in time - but was off from room temperature by -25F right out of the box. I'm working with Omega to see if they'll replace it; I understand the need to learn and make corrections - but it's a little frustrating to wait for that process.

What is the response time of the sensor?
Thank you for your inquiry. Please see our technical reference page for more information https://www.omega.com/en-us/technical-reference
Date published: 2022-03-18
Do these thermocouples come with a calibration certificate?
Thank you for your inquiry. These sensors only come with a Certificate of Conformance (CAL-1). CAL-1 documents that the products you buy comply with Omega's specifications. If you need a NIST certificate of calibration with this product, please send a quote request to sales@omega.com

Do the thermocouples have a required installed orientation?
Thank you for your inquiry. No required install orientation. Thermocouples are very flexible in-terms of how they are installed. You try to put them in the best position to get your temperature reading.

Can these be ordered in a custom length? Can the probe end be welded to a surface?
Yes the probes can be ordered in custom lengths and if you use the configure now feature on the page you can select that on your own. The style 4 connection should allow a weld instead of using the screw hole but heat should be kept to a minimum.

Do these thermo couples have UL certification?
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, no, they do not have UL certification.

What type of junction used in XCIB style 2? Grounded or ungrounded? What is is the dimension (diameter) of its sensing element?
Style 2 of the XCIB series probes is ungrounded and the bead is approximately 0.080" in diameter
