Thermocouple Exposed Tip - 24in

The Thermocouple Exposed Tip – 24in is a precision temperature measurement probe designed for exhaust gas temperature (EGT) monitoring in high-performance engines, industrial combustion systems, and thermal testing applications. This exposed-tip thermocouple delivers accurate, real-time temperature data where direct contact with exhaust gases or process streams is required. Built for users who demand reliability in harsh thermal environments—from automotive tuning and dyno testing to furnace monitoring and research applications—this probe bridges the gap between rugged field durability and laboratory-grade measurement accuracy.

The exposed-tip design allows the thermocouple junction to make direct contact with the measured medium, enabling faster thermal response and more accurate temperature readings compared to sheathed alternatives. A 1/4-inch diameter stainless steel probe body provides structural integrity while minimizing thermal mass, reducing response lag in dynamic temperature conditions. The 24-inch lead wire extends from the probe head, offering flexible installation options and safe separation of the sensing element from data acquisition equipment or control modules. This configuration is ideal for mounting in exhaust manifolds, EGT bungs, or inline exhaust systems where space is limited and fast sensor response is critical to engine tuning, diagnostics, or safety monitoring.

Technicians, tuners, and engineers benefit most from this thermocouple when performing real-time EGT monitoring during engine calibration, load testing, or emissions verification. The 24-inch wire length accommodates dashboard-mounted gauges, ECU-integrated data loggers, or remote monitoring systems without requiring signal amplification or additional conduit. Installation is straightforward—simply insert the probe into an existing EGT port or NPT-threaded bung, secure the lead wire away from moving components and heat sources, and connect to a compatible thermocouple meter or data acquisition system. Compatibility spans most gasoline, diesel, and turbocharged applications where exhaust temperature management directly influences performance, reliability, and tuning outcomes.
