Review on Yeeco + K Type Thermocouple: Ultimate 0~1300℃ Temperature Sensor & Gauge by Justin Dorsett

I decided to test this little sensor right out of the box to see if it would hold up. First, I applied a propane flame blowtorch directly to the stainless steel probe. It seemed to be removing heat from the tip too quickly, and the temperature only reached about 950°C. In a proper kiln or oven where most of the tip is exposed to high temperatures, this shouldn't be a problem. Then I pulled the sensor out of the probe and gave it a hot dinner with a burner. The maximum temperature reached 1090 °C while the sensor and part of the cable glowed bright orange. After it cooled to around 450°C, I submerged the entire probe in cold water. Surprisingly, the readings stayed accurate, and after I dried them, they were again less than 1°C higher than the standard thermocouple reading. I wouldn't expect him to endure such treatment all the time, but it's nice to know he can handle it. Tip: If you need to connect it to a thermometer with a K-type connector, you can simply cut one of the pins from each of the blade connectors and insert it into the socket. Pay attention to the correct polarity; If the temperature reading drops when heat is applied to the probe (and vice versa), swap the connectors.
