The Type N shares the same accuracy and temperature limits as the Type K. The type N is slightly more expensive. The type N has better repeatability between 572F to 932F (300C to 500C) compared to the type K.

 

 

Maximum continuous operating temperature: up to 2,300F (1,260C)

Short term use: 2,336F (1,280C)

Thermocouple grade wire, -454 to 2300F (-270 to 1,260C)

Extension wire, 32 to 392F (0 to 200C)

 

Special Limits of Error: +/- 1.1C or 0.4%

 

The type N holds up better to oxidation at high temperatures when compared to the type K.
