Mineral insulated thermocouples are used in the industry to measure temperatures at difficult-to-reach places, since they are extremely flexible and allow a high degree of measurement accuracy. High-quality thermocouples also have a long life time. This is an indispensable product with a large variety of applications in industry and research.
Some compositions are as a standard design, but most sheathed thermocouples are produced customer-specific in all conceivable designs. The composition of an individual thermocouple is remarkably simple and comprises six parameters.
A mineral-insulated thermocouple is structured like a modular system. It allows different sort of mineral-insulated thermocouples to be designed, which can be combined with a hot-junction as well as a selection of connections. This produces the following basic variations:
*Types C and D and their colour coding are not subject to any official standard.
**flexible design / ***rigid design
