- MI (Mineral Insulated) temperature sensor is a type of thermocouple sensor that consists of two dissimilar metal wires (usually nickel and chromium) that are insulated from each other using a mineral insulation material (usually magnesium oxide). The wires are typically sheathed in a metal outer casing (usually stainless steel) for protection.
- An MI temperature sensor can be designed in different types, including the pencil type. A pencil type MI temperature sensor is a compact and versatile sensor that is suitable for use in a wide range of temperature measurement applications. It is named for its slender, cylindrical shape, which resembles a pencil.
- The construction of a pencil type MI temperature sensor involves a long, narrow mineral-insulated metal sheathed cable that houses the two thermocouple wires. The cable is typically 3 to 8mm in diameter and can range from a few centimeters to several meters in length, depending on the application. At the sensing end, the two wires are welded together to form a measuring junction, which is the point at which the temperature is measured. The sensing end is usually tapered to improve the response time and accuracy of the temperature measurement.
- Pencil type MI temperature sensors are commonly used in industries such as HVAC, food processing, and chemical manufacturing, where accurate and reliable temperature measurement is critical for quality control and safety purposes. They can be inserted into a variety of materials, including liquids, gases, and solids, and can operate at high temperatures up to 1100°C (2012°F).
