Mineral-insulated sheath thermocouples are used in industry for temperature measurement in hard-to-reach places, as they are extremely flexible and enable high measurement accuracy. In addition, mineral insulated thermocouples have a good resistance to mechanical stress as well as vibrations. Especially with small outside diameters they convince by their fast response times. High-quality sheathed thermocouples also have a long service life. An indispensable product with a wide range of applications in industry and research.
Some compositions are available as standard designs, but most sheath thermocouples are custom-made in every conceivable design. The composition of an individual sheath thermocouple is very simple.
The design of a sheath thermocouple works like a modular system. Different sheath thermocouples can be designed, each of which can be combined with a measuring point and a selection of connections. This results in the following basic variants:
