XIQI Electric CG-WRNT-01 K-Type Thermocouple Sensor - M8x1.25 Thread, 1m Shielded Cable

The CG-WRNT-01 is a passive K-type thermocouple. It outputs a small millivoltage signal that varies with temperature. This signal must be connected to a thermocouple input module, temperature transmitter, or data logger with dedicated K-type compensation and cold-junction correction to provide an accurate temperature reading.

Yes, but it must be done correctly to maintain accuracy. You must use thermocouple extension wire of the same type (K-Type) and proper gauge. All connections should be made with thermocouple-grade connectors to avoid introducing measurement errors from dissimilar metals. Avoid splicing with standard copper wire.

While it can measure air temperature, its threaded M8 probe and compression spring design are optimized for direct insertion and contact with solid surfaces or immersion into liquids in industrial machinery. For air/gas streams, a different probe style (like an exposed junction or a protective tube) might offer better response and durability.

The compression spring ensures the probe tip maintains constant, firm pressure against the bottom of a threaded mounting hole or a measured surface. This guarantees optimal thermal contact, minimizes air gaps that cause measurement lag, and provides a more stable and accurate temperature reading in dynamic industrial environments.
