Supported Applications
The Omega TJ36-XCIB series consists of rugged thermocouple transition joint probes designed for harsh conditions. These sensors utilize Super OMEGACLAD® XL Compacted Mineral Insulation Cable with an Inconel® 600 braid over Nextel® lead wire to provide robust temperature measurement in demanding environments.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The series meets or exceeds IEC 584-1 and EN 60584-2 Tolerance Class 1. The transition joint design supports a process temperature up to 815°C (1500°F) for the lead wire, while junction temperatures vary by calibration type:
- K Type: Up to 1204°C (2200°F)
- J Type: Up to 721°C (1330°F)
- T Type: Up to 371°C (700°F)
Upper temperature guidelines for the T/C junction also depend on sheath material and diameter. For example, K CHROMEGA®-ALOMEGA® probes with a Super OMEGACLAD® XL sheath at 4.78 mm (3/16 in) or 6.35 mm (1/4 in) support up to 1204°C (2200°F), whereas the same calibration with a 304 SS sheath supports up to 899°C (1650°F).
Configuration Options
The TJ36-XCIB series is configurable across multiple parameters including sensor type, sheath material, diameter, junction style, and probe length.
- Sensor Types: K CHROMEGA®-ALOMEGA®, J IRON-CONSTANTAN, T COPPER-CONSTANTAN
- Sheath Materials: 304 SS, Inconel® 600 (INC 600), Super OMEGACLAD® XL (XL)
- Diameters: 1.59 mm (1/16 in) to 6.35 mm (1/4 in)
- Junction Types: Grounded, Ungrounded, Exposed
- Probe Lengths: Standard overall length is 1000 mm (40 in); stock lengths include 150 mm (6 in), 300 mm (12 in), and 450 mm (18 in)
The standard electrical connection features stripped leads. M8/M12 connectors are available as an option by adding specific codes to the model number.
Key Product Differences
Variants within the series differ primarily by calibration code, sheath material selection, and physical dimensions which dictate maximum operating temperatures. Model numbers follow the format TJ36------CC-XCIB.
Specific configurations include:
- K Type with 304 SS sheath (1.59 mm): TJ36-CASS-116(*)-(**)-CC-XCIB, rated to 899°C (1650°F)
- K Type with Inconel® 600 sheath (4.78 mm): TJ36-CAIN-316(*)-(**)-CC-XCIB, rated to 1149°C (2100°F)
- J Type with 304 SS sheath (6.35 mm): TJ36-ICSS-14(*)-(**)-CC-XCIB, rated to 721°C (1330°F)
- T Type with 304 SS sheath (4.78 mm): TJ36-CPSS-316(*)-(**)-CC-XCIB, rated to 371°C (700°F)
The series is Made in USA.

My top choice for temperature sensors.
Omega is a direct manufacturer of many temperature sensors used by other equipment manufacturers, and it's much cheaper to work with Omega when sourcing replacement sensors. Omega is always my top choice for temperature sensors.

Just what we needed
The website was easy to follow and get to what I needed. The item was in stock and shipped promptly. As soon as it arrived, we installed it and put it to work. It got our heat treating oven back to work with minimum downtime.

Great wood-fired kiln thermocouples
We fire our wood kiln to cone 15 and really torture these thermocouples and they hold up well.

What pressure are these thermocouples rated for?
Thank you for your inquiry Ellie2022. Unfortunately, the TJ36 series are not pressure rated.

Hi, What is the max temperature rating for the wire that connects the probe to the K-type connector? It looks like plastic shielding on the wire and I don't want to melt it.
Thank you for your inquiry.
The max temperature the wire can handle is 260C (500F)

What length needs to be inserted into the process for an accurate reading with a 6inch probe?
Hi Peter, considering the thermocouple sensor is at the tip of the probe, it would be safe to assume 0.5-1 inch would be needed to get an accurate reading.

Can these be attached to a 2.5mm jack for use with a wireless bbq style type thermometer?
Hi Schwonkhead,
If your thermometer accepts a type K thermocouple then possibly yes. You'll need to check the wireless thermometer input specifications.
Best regards
OMEGA

Hello, Can this thermocouple be welded around section B? Also, is it able to withstand pressures to up to 500 psi? Thank you
The B section is where the Thermocouple wire is attached to the extension wire and potted. A tack weld could probably be made with a minimal amount of heat being applied. Omega does not pressure rate the probes but they do get used often in elevated pressures as what your inquiry suggests. If you need a probe with a pressure rating then the only one Omega offers is the pipe plug probe series.

Can I get this with a 10' lead?
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes we can make these as long as 50' using the CUSTOMIZE button.

I am looking for 2 stainless steel temperature probes to go into a 55 gallon drum that’s height is 34 inches. I want to hook it to a controller to manage a heating blanket to maintain a temperature between 68 to 75°F. What Would you recommend
This would need to be reviewed with a Temperature Engineer due to the complexity so please send an inquiry to temp@omega.com.

Question, What are the voltage outputs between 0 and the max reading
Thank you for your inquiry. The voltage output varies with different thermocouple types but it would be in mV. If you have any further questions, please email temp@dwyeromega.com or call 1-888-826-6342.
