THERMOCOUPLE TYPE B TECHNICAL DETAILS
Type B has a very high maximum temperature. For short periods it can be used to measure temperatures up to 1850 °C, with up to 1700 °C being measured under continuous operation. One quirk of Type B thermocouples is that its output doesn’t change between 0 and 42 °C meaning that it is unsuitable for measuring temperatures near this range. We recommened Type B thermocouples are only used for measuring above 200 °C.
