Mineral Insulated thermocouples
Mineral Insulated thermocouples
Mineral Insulated Thermocouples, commonly referred to as MgO (Magnesium Oxide) thermocouples, are used in many processes and laboratory applications. They are available in all thermocouple element types and a wide variety of sheath diameters and materials. They are rugged in nature and bendable, and their fairly high-temperature ratings make MI thermocouples a popular choice for a multitude of temperature measuring applications.
