Can we use k-means clustering on this matrix

here the rows represent temperatures from -40 to 400 degrees and the 7 columns represent type of thermocouples(B,J,K....)

My question is that can we use clustering algorithms on such type of matrices when all the column contains the same entity at different states.

If not, then what could be the possible methods for identification..plz answer

kmeans() does not care what the interpretation of the data is. Just feed it the array.
