E4S THERMOCOUPLE BKT KIT PTFE

In high-temperature commercial cooking equipment, PTFE has multiple applications. Often used in seals, gaskets, valve and fitting components, pump parts, manifold, chemical resistant tubing and bearings and bushings PTFE is rated for it's very high temperature and chemical resistance. PTFE is also recognized by its brand name "Teflon" where it is used as a protective non-stick cooking surface embedded into the construction of pots and pans, and in replaceable indirect cooking release sheets for grills, especially those with clamshell design.

A thermocouple is a transducer consisting of two different metals welded together at each end; a voltage is produced that is proportional to the difference in temperature between the two junctions (one of which is normally held at a known temperature).  Commercial thermocouples are inexpensive, interchangeable, are supplied with standard connectors, and can measure a wide range of temperatures. In contrast to most other methods of temperature measurement, thermocouples are self powered and require no external form of excitation.
