Product Overview

GP/GK Thermocouple - GKEC(GKX10000-A1E) is a FINETEK GP/GK Thermocouple configuration identified in the catalog by GKEC(GKX10000 and order code A1E). The source documentation describes the operating method, product configuration options and technical limits for the family. This page content is therefore centered on the actual GKEC(GKX10000 identity rather than a generic description of the FINETEK range.

Industrial thermocouple/resistance-bulb sensing with configurable probe dimensions, materials, process connections and output/transmitter options. The listed design is intended to provide a usable process signal for integration into plant instrumentation, control, monitoring or protection systems, depending on the selected configuration.

Technical Capabilities

The supplied FineTek source material reports the following technical values for this family. Where the manufacturer shows more than one value because the range depends on model, construction, output or installation option, the complete range is retained rather than assigning one value to every variant.

• Thermocouple inputs: K, J and S on the main ordering family; expanded TR160 interface supports B/E/J/K/N/R/S/T

Configuration and Selection

The product name, model identifier and order-code string should be checked together when selecting a specific item. Family-level values can be shared across configurations only where the source indicates that they are common; model-dependent values should be read from the corresponding configuration before purchase or installation. For this Excel row, the catalog identity is GP/GK Thermocouple - GKEC(GKX10000-A1E) with order code A1E).

This content is written from the manufacturer information associated with the cited FINETEK family source and does not add unsupported operating values or unrelated product specifications.
