Many of our customers have already been able to make their lives easier with our sheathed probes. They have reduced the number of variants and thus save a lot of time in procurement and supply chain coordination.

Sheathed probes are extremely versatile. With our extensive range of accessories for the sheathed probes, you can mount the probe right to your preference. Sensor tip adapters, bayonet fittings, compression fittings and pressure springs are just a few examples.

With the help of our accessories, you can use the sheathed probe for pretty much any measurement. Also, a unique advantage of MIMS cable based probes is that they are bendable, which provides additional flexibility.

Sheathed probes are robust and – depending on the sensing element – can be used in an extremely wide temperature range from -200 up to 1,150 °C.

We manufacture our mineral insulated probes as RTD, NTC and thermocouple.

A Pt100 or Pt1000 is well suited for precise measurement in a wide temperature range. Depending on the cable length, a three- or four-wire circuit may be required here.

An NTC sheath sensor comes into question when the temperature range to be measured is comparatively small – outside this “comfort zone” its resolution is useless. For this, it is usually the cheapest choice.

A sheathed thermocouple is the best solution when the temperatures rise well above 500 °C. In some applications, however, thermocouples are also used at lower temperatures.

Regarding the response time of a sensor, the following rule of thumb applies: If you double the diameter, you quadruple the response time. So choose the diameter carefully!

Using a small-diameter probe together with a probe tip adapter is often a good choice for a sheathed probe. Here, by the way, the price also increases with increasing diameter.

As with all temperature sensors, the immersion length should be at least 5 times the diameter of the sensor to avoid thermal bridges.
