I would like to ask if a "R" type thermocoupler will work with a J/K pyrome=
ter.
Thank you,

I'm afraid the short answer is no.
You'd get a reading, but it would be *very* inaccurate!
J is calibrated for J only, likewise K, R, S, et al

You can get multi type Thermometers/Pyrometers, but they ain't cheap!

Thank you to everyone who replied on and off list. I have sold the thing in=
stead of getting a multimeter.
