Straight sheathed sensors
Sheathed Pt100 thermocouples and probes are small diameter, malleable and very reactive sensors. Also called mineral insulated temperature sensors, because insulated by compacted magnesia, they have a very good resistance to vibrations.
Rigid temperature sensors can be provided with a sheath protecting the measurement point. They are unsheathed. Their maximum temperature is limited by the type of cable used. They are used for example in boreholes, or for measurements in air flows.
For each of the ranges, we offer type J thermocouples and stock Pt100 probes .
