ThermoExpert® - we are behind successful solutions for temperature measurement, temperature generation and individual heating solutions for industry and research.

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.

Sheathed thermocouples with a tapered measuring point are our answer to the question of short response times but stable and resilient processing or when, for example, threaded holes require a taper due to their design. Only one end of the thermocouple, including the measuring point, is reduced in diameter so that it remains extremely robust overall and can be ideally inserted into holes or threads using welding sleeves or through-bore fittings.
