Mineral insulated thermocouples, also referred to as sheathed thermocouples, are made of metal sheathed cable with internal thermocouple wires are insulated from each other and from the outer sheath with magnesium oxide (MgO) powder. This provides the sensor with high vibration resistance, flexibility as well as resistance to temperature and with good electrical insulation.
These sensors are designed for direct temperature measuring in places with difficult access, as well as in all places, where it is required to use flexible sensors of small diameters, high resistance to vibrations and shock, and with short response time to temperature changes.
Due to tight pressing of the insulating layer (MgO) and appropriate structure of the inner wires and the sheath, the sensors can be bent with a minimal radius of curvature of three times the outer diameter of the sheath.
