Q: about various types of EGT probes.

[Neil.Poersch at mts.mb.ca]

Mike,
The designations refer to the different types of dissimilar metals used in
the thermocouple.  You want to use a K-type.  It will cover the temperature
range of exhaust gas and is also more ductile so less breakage of the
wires.

I'm looking into putting one or more exhaust temp probes in one of my cars.
While pricing the probes, I was asked what type of probe I need.  Quick
research on the Web revealed that these probes are designated as K-type,
J-type, N-type, etc.  Does anyone know what this refers to?  Is it form
factor, or electrical characteristics, for example?

Any source of information on the topic would be most appreciated.

Thanx,
Mike Diehl,
