The AK24M has a Type K Thermocouple sensor and is designed for measuring temperatures of up to +1100°C / +2012°F, fitted with a 1m curly cable.
It is fair to say, that any probe that can measure temperature, could be used as an Air Probe, with varying degrees of success. However, Air Probes are specifically designed for this purpose and so have a higher degree of accuracy and response.
Air Probes are often designed to be very quick response with a low thermal mass. The sensor is designed to be as small as possible so that the air temperature is transferred to the probe with minimal temperature loss or gain to maintain a high degree of accuracy.
