It is probably not a J type as the temperature ranges seems high for that
type. Ohm meter readings are almost useless except to determine if the TC
is open or not. I don't know why you are referring to a millamp as they are
usually rated for milliVolts. The diameter of the material should not have
any real effect on the measurment.
They probably shipped you the wrong type of TC. As you should know the
differant types put out differant voltages for the same temperature.
Company I worked for was shipped in about 25 J type for a lagre building
project. About half of them had the red and white coloring reversed. Took
a short period of time to determin why they would not work.
