What is a Mineral Insulated Thermocouple?
A Mineral Insulated Thermocouple (MI Thermocouple) is a compact temperature sensor in which the thermocouple conductors are embedded in compressed mineral insulation and protected by a metallic sheath. This construction provides good electrical insulation, mechanical strength and resistance to demanding operating conditions.
The compact MI construction also allows the thermocouple to be manufactured in small diameters and flexible configurations, making it suitable for installations where conventional rigid thermocouples may be difficult to install. For a broader understanding of thermocouple construction and specifications, see our thermocouple specifications guide.
