Not a flat joke
Sheathed thermocouples with a flattened measuring point (VMA/IMA) are required, for example, for temperature measurement on pumps and housings or on test benches - wherever temperatures need to be measured in gaps, on surfaces or at low installation heights. Typical applications are in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and also in the research and development departments of universities and institutes.
The tip of the thermocouple with the measuring point is flattened in several production steps so that the contact surface of the thermocouple is enlarged. This facilitates fixing in the corresponding application and stabilizes the connection with a mechanical component.
Of course, we also manufacture sheathed thermocouples with a flattened measuring point individually: the length and material as well as the design of the measuring point - e.g. sheath-welded or insulated - can be selected as required. Depending on the measuring application, we can also fit rings, eyelets or plates to a sheathed thermocouple.
We always deliver precision work by hand, because we understand your problem and our craft. Our sheathed thermocouples are manufactured on the basis of mineral-insulated sheathed cables. Production and design are in accordance with DIN EN 60584.
