Ultra-miniature mineral insulated thermocouple

This ultra-miniature mineral-insulated (MI) thermocouple is designed for precise temperature measurement in extremely tight spaces and demanding environments. Featuring a tiny diameter, flexible MI sheath, and miniature plug, this sensor provides accurate readings with easy connectivity.

Key Features

• Ultra-Miniature Size: The incredibly small diameter allows access to very confined areas, enabling temperature measurement where larger sensors cannot fit.
• Mineral-Insulated (MI) Construction: The thermocouple wires are embedded in tightly packed mineral insulation (typically MgO) within a metal sheath, providing excellent thermal conductivity, electrical isolation, and mechanical protection.
• Type K Thermocouple: The green miniature plug indicates a Type K thermocouple.
• Stainless Steel Sheath: The stainless steel sheath offers good resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and physical damage, making it suitable for various applications.
• Miniature Plug: The miniature plug allows for quick and easy connection and disconnection to instrumentation or control systems.
• Flexible Sheath: The MI sheath can be bent and formed to fit specific application requirements without compromising performance.
• Fast Response Time: The small size and exposed junction (likely) allow for a fast thermal response.
• Wide Temperature Range: Suitable for a wide range of process temperatures (depending on the thermocouple and sheath material).
