Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed Cable From Eustis/Pyrocom

Our mineral-insulated thermocouples are held in place by Magnesium Oxide (MgO). This design enables these cables to be used in an environment with temperatures up to 2200°F (1200°C). The elements are of various ANSI types (J, K, T, E, N, R, and S) depending on the measured temperature range (see TC type table). Normal accuracy is achieved with standard limits material. Applications requiring high precision can be ordered with "special limits" material. Hot end terminations on our mineral-insulated thermocouples can be chosen among grounded junction (G), ungrounded junction (U), and exposed junction (E).

Types of Mineral Insulated Thermocouple Cables

• MF Style Metal Transition: The MF Style Metal Transition features a rugged stainless steel transition with a stainless steel strain relief spring. The transition is rated to 400°F (204°C) or silica cement potting rated to 1000°F (538°C).
• MC Style Plug Termination: The MC Style Plug Termination features standard thermocouple connectors or miniature connectors directly attached to the sheath. The sheaths are impervious to most liquids and gases and are designed to withstand high temperatures and corrosive atmospheres. Standard plugs are rated to 400°F (204°C), High Temp plugs 800°F (427°C), and Ceramic 1,200°F (650°C) are available.
• MM Style Molded Transition: The MM Style Molded Transition is designed to provide high dielectric resistance from sheath to ground. Can withstand temperatures up to 900°F (482°C).
• MH Style Head Termination: The MH Style Head Termination provides a rugged housing for a connection block or temperature transmitter that allows for the installation of instrument wire through conduit to the instrument room. Connection heads provide protection from the elements and easy access to sensor or transmitter connection.
• MA Style Cut and Strip: MA Style Cut and Strip is simply mineral insulated thermocouple cable cut and stripped to your specified dimensions
• ME Style Flexible Armor: ME Style Flexible Armor has all the same attributes as the MF but with the added toughness of flex armor over the lead wires.
• MR Style Industrial Remote: The MR Style Industrial Remote provides a connection that offers durability and electrical protection in harsh environments. Ideal for applications where thermocouple instruments are located away from the desired sensing point.

Benefits of Mineral Insulated Thermocouple Cables

Mineral-insulated thermocouple cables offer a range of benefits, including:

• Very Durable: The metal-sheathed construction helps to overcome bending, twisting, and compaction stresses in more difficult industrial environments
• Good Flexibility: While MI thermocouples are robust due to the mineral insulation (MgO) and metal sheath, they can be bent and shaped to fit specific installation requirements
• Can Survive High Temperatures: Suitable sheath materials can handle unfavorable environmental conditions such as corrosive atmospheres and extremely high temperatures
• Metal sheaths are impervious to most liquids and gasses
• Sheath makes possible the ability to withstand high external pressures

Industrial Applications for Mineral Insulated Thermocouples

Mineral-insulated thermocouples are ideal for industries and applications that require precise and reliable temperature measurement. Their high-temperature capabilities produce reliable results even in industries with extreme conditions, including aerospace, power generation, primary metals, industrial processing, OEM manufacturing, and more. With their high durability, versatility, and fast response times, MI thermocouples have become indispensable tools in many different industrial temperature monitoring processes. Additional industrial applications for mineral-insulated thermocouples include:

• Automotive Manufacturing: Meaure temperature in heat treatment and assembly processes
• Industrial Furnaces: Monitoring and controlling high-temperature environments
• Research Laboratories: Provides exact temperature measurements in lab applications
• Chemical Processing: Able to withstand corrosive applications
• Food & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Helps maintain regulatory compliance and product quality during production.
