Mineral Insulated Thermocouple (MIT)
Mineral insulated thermocouples are useful in applications where high temperature resistance, a degree of flexibility and long probe lengths are key requirements. Probes can be bent to allow placement in difficult to reach locations. Examples of applications are chemical process plant, industrial furnaces and kilns.
Completed thermocouples are constructed from lengths of mineral insulated cable (MICC). This consists of thermocouple wires encapsulated in a mineral insulated (MI) core of Magnesium Oxide, inside a soft annealed metal skin.
Mineral insulated probes can be specified in a range of metals, specified in any length, and are available in a wide range of diameters, both Imperial and Metric.
Mineral insulated thermocouples can be purchased with a wide range of process connection fittings, termination arrangements (plugs, heads) and temperature transmitters to ensure the MI probes can be easily integrated into the process.
