MgO-packed thermocouples, also called mineral-insulated metal-sheathed (MIMS) thermocouples, are a reliable and durable choice compared to ceramic beaded thermocouples. MgO thermocouples are constructed by placing thermoelements inside a metal sheath insulated with high-purity MgO (magnesium oxide powder). The cable is then redrawn to the required size and heat-treated to normalize the metal conductors and sheath....

To ensure longer thermocouple life and measurement accuracy, additional protection tubes are recommended along the length of the thermocouple exposed to high temperatures. Protection tubes also simplify thermocouple replacement. A common question is: Which Protection Tube Is Right For My Thermocouple? While all protection tubes provide some level of protection, performance varies depending on process...
