Sheathed Thermocouple Features

Mineral insulated thermocouple (sheathed thermocouple) has the following advantages over conventional protection tube or wire-insulator industrial thermocouple.

1. A wide application in temperature measurement

Small diameter thermocouple is very useful for the place where space is at premium. Mineral insulated thermocouple is resistant to high pressure and also used at wide range of temperature from-200°C to +1260 °C, we can make boiler thermocouple, furnace thermocouple, oil temperature sensor.,etc. high temperature thermocouple

2. Quick response

Sheathed thermocouples have small heat capacity due to the small sheath size; the small thermal mass is highly sensitive to change in temperature and gives a very fast response, for example, we make surface thermocouple.

3. Easily bent for installation

The ability to form mineral insulated thermocouple on a radius twice the sheath diameter makes for simple and on-the-spot installation into complex configurations.

4. Long life span

Contrary to conventional industrial thermocouples which suffer from deterioration of electromotive force or wire disconnection.etc. Sheathed thermocouple wires are insulated with chemically stable magnesium oxide. Thus assuring a longer service life.

5. Excellent mechanical strength and pressure resistance

The composite construction is resistant to extremely high vibration levels, and by choosing appropriate sheath material (such as ceramic thermocouple, platinum thermocouple), it is reliable to use in corrosive atmospheres and abnormally high or low temperatures. Though it has small diameter, it can withstand about 350Mpa at a temperature of 650 °C, it can work as high pressure thermocouple.

6. Custom sheath outer diameter available

Thermocouple Sheath outer diameter sizes between 0.25mm and 12.7mm can be provided.

7. Custom long length

Thermocouple probe Length are available up to a maximum of 400m. Maximum length of Thermocouple probe is dependent upon the sheath outer diameter. Please provide temperature sensor manufacturer for the length you need.

8. Compatible with special needs

We are a China temperature sensor manufacturer, and can correspond to various needs from customers.  Where to buy thermocouple and what is the cost of thermocouple? Here is the answer to you.

Theory

A thermocouple is a closed loop circuit that consists of two dissimilar metal wires welded together at both ends. When a temperature difference exists between the two junctions of industrial thermocouple, thermal electromotive force (EMF) is generated and an electric current flows in the closed circuit of temperature sensor. The direction and magnitude of the EMF generated depend upon the temperature of the two junctions and upon the materials making up the thermocouple sensor probe ,and are not affected by the size or length of the thermocouple wire, temperature can be measured by knowing beforehand the change of EMF per degree change of temperature for a certain thermocouple sensor. In selecting the right industrial thermocouples for your particular application, you should pick industrial temperature sensor   that is stable in performance over a long period of continuous use and which also meets your requirements are to temperature range, purpose, usage, accuracy needed,etc. Our standard thermocouples temperature probe include B type thermocouple, R type thermocouples, S type thermocouple, N type thermocouple, K type thermocouple (chromel alumel thermocouple), E type thermocouple, J type thermocouple  and T type thermocouple , temperature sensor manufacturer makes all of the temperature thermocouple conforms to the IEC. Also available are types W5Re/W26Re thermocouples .You can select the right thermocouple for your particular requirement from our product line. As a China temperature sensor manufacturer, we provide cheap temperature sensor, and all the industrial thermocouple is custom probes.

Mineral insulated thermocouple wires that are surrounded by a compacted mineral insulations (MgO) are contained in sheath such as stainless steel or heat resisting steel. On the basis of this mineral insulated construction, a wide variety of otherwise difficult applications are possible. Compared with general-purpose (protection tube types) thermocouples, sheathed thermocouple has many advantages.
