What Are MIMS Thermocouples? A MIMS thermocouple—short for Mineral Insulated Metal Sheathed thermocouple—is a robust temperature sensor designed to withstand extreme industrial environments. Unlike bare wire thermocouples, MIMS thermocouples encase the sensing elements inside a metal sheath packed with magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation. [...]

How to Select the Right Thermocouple Temperature sensing in extreme industrial environments requires careful sensor selection. Thermocouples, among the most widely used temperature sensors, come in multiple configurations. Two of the most common are: The bare thermocouple (exposed wires) The MIMS thermocouple (Mineral [...]

What Is a Thermocouple Time Constant? When selecting a thermocouple for industrial use, response time is a critical—but often overlooked—performance metric. The industry-standard term for this is the "time constant." A thermocouple time constant is defined as the time it takes for a sensor [...]
