Thermocouples & Thermocouple Manufacture

Mineral insulated thermocouples are a popular temperature sensor due to a number of reasons, inexpensive, versatile and sturdy to name but a few.

Types of Thermocouples
There are several types of thermocouple, labelled with letters according to their constituent metals, K-type thermocouples for example are made up of chrome and Alumel, the metals give the thermocouples differing properties such as temperature ranges and accuracy.

Application of Thermocouples
Mineral insulated thermocouples are used in a variety of processes as their many characteristics make them a good choice for general and special purpose use, their ruggedness and moderately high temperature characteristics make them a popular choice for a multitude of temperature measuring applications including:-

• Food processing equipment
• Engine & turbine exhaust gas
• Semiconductor processing
• Heat treatment & metals processing
• Pharmaceutical drug/chemical processing
• Brick & glass manufacturers
• Annealing furnaces
