Thermocouples (TC) Mineral insulated tc - Rössel Messtechnik - #1

Text version of the page

Mineral-Insulated Thermocouples for Measurements in Industry, Laboratories and Research Mineral-Insulated Metal-Sheathed (MIMS) thermocouples were successfully introduced many years ago into temperature measurement technology. The standard versions are mainly used in the range between -270 °C and +1200 °C. They combine the advantages of high flexibility and easy handling in an extremely wide temperature range. They are supplemented by high-temperature MIMS thermocouples for operating temperatures of 2000 °C and above. Inconel 600 is mainly used as sheath material, a nickel-based alloy. This material can easily be welded and soldered, it possesses extremely good resistivity characteristics also at higher temperatures and is resistant against most ambient conditions. The thermocouple is often the type K (NiCr-Ni) acc. to IEC 60 584-1. Widely in use are also types L resp. J (both Fe-CuNi) and in the higher temperature range the noble metal types S R and B, which are platinum/rhodium alloys. The thermocouple wires are embedded in a compact insulation of high-purity MgO and enclosed by a metal sheath of a nickel/chromium/iron alloy or of stainless steel. The compact insulation fixes the wires securely so that no damage can occur because of strong vibrations or high bending loads. Also short circuits between the wires or between wire and sheath are virtually impossible. On pages 4 and 5 of this Product Information only the standard versions are listed. Special designs are of course always available and can be specified as per the ordering code on page 6.
