There are two general types of thermocouples used in ceramics.
Ceramic thermocouple type k.
These have either a braided ceramic fiber insulation or alumina ceramic insulation elements.
With american made components to exacting standards.
Type k thermocouples function over a temperature range of 300f to 2450f so they fit the needs of the majority of ceramicists.
