About Silver Instrument Mineral insulated thermocouple Sensor
A thermocouple is an electrical device used as a sensor for temperature measurement. This device senses low to high temperatures in the form of voltage changes and displays the temperature digitally by calculating the voltage changes. It was discovered in 1821 by Thomas Seeback and thus has been serving the function since then.
The self-powered thermocouple can measure temperatures between -300 and 4000F. However, this range varies according to different types of thermocouples. The advanced digital thermocouple comes in different styles. This styling varies from simple wires to thermocouples with probes and beaded wire thermocouples.
Thermocouple differs from other temperature-sensing devices in their constituency and applications. They are used mostly for high-temperature measurements in industries whereas other sensors like a thermometer are rarely used commercially.
Description Of Mineral Insulated Thermocouple Sensor
MI thermocouple refers to the insulation material and metal protective sheath wrapped around the thermocouple. The function of the sheath is to protect the thermocouple wire and add a protective layer on the outside of the thermocouple, such as stainless steel pipes to prevent acid and alkali environmental corrosion.
Mineral insulated thermocouples have many advantages such as flexibility, high voltage resistance, fast thermal response time, and durability.
MI thermocouple is a kind of most commonly used assembly of thermocouples in which the metal coating of a thermocouple is done to protect thermocouples from corrosion. This mineral coating enables high flexibility to thermocouples so they can be turned into different shapes.
A MgO powder coating is included in this assembly. A mineral-insulated thermocouple can bear a temperature of up to 1800 ° C and thus they are used in furnaces, ovens, and kilns, it can directly measure vapors, gas, liquid, or solid surface temperature.
