One of David Sturm's top 5 favorites! The Dual Input Digital Pyrometer offered by Skutt is of very high quality. It comes with 1 thermocouple but if you purchase an additional one, this pyrometer has the ability to read multiple zones at one time. The digital readout is easy to read and extremely accurate. It can be wall mounted or hand held. It also has a convenient flip out stand so you can set it upright on a flat surface. It comes with the following items: 1 – 2350 F (1285 C) Pyrometer with mounting case 1 – 6ft Type K thermocouple wire with 8″, 8 gauge, Type K Thermocouple 1 – Thermocouple mounting flange with mounting screws 1 – 9 volt battery included
Type K thermocouples are the most common type of thermocouples used in electric kilns. These thermocouples are purchased in bulk directly from the factory to save you money. The manufacturer is ISO/IEC 17025 certified.
Type-K 8 Gauge Thermocouple (Exposed) with Ceramic Terminal Block - Ceramic tube is 4" Long x 1/2" Diameter. This is the standard thermocouple used in the Easy-Fire, School-Master, Jupiter, DaVinci, Fuego, Doll/Test and Liberty-Belle kilns. It is normally supplied in the kiln with a thermocouple protection tube (although the protection tubes rarely need to be replaced. We strongly suggest that, when changing the thermocouple, you remove the protection tube and empty any metallic oxides that may have fallen off as the thermocouple aged. That material can touch the new thermocouple and make for uneven temperature readings inside the kiln.
Original factory 8 Gauge Type K thermocouple replacement WITH MOUNTING BLOCK. Typically, you'd only need the thermocouple (thermocouple alone is Skutt part 1515) unless the mounting block has been damaged in some way. Skutt part number 1506.
