Element Type:
MgO thermocouples offer the greatest variety of features of all styles of thermocouples making them the best choice for most applications. They are made in all calibrations with a wide variety of sheath diameters and materials. MgO assemblies are fully annealed and field bendable. They can be bent to a minimum radius of twice the sheath diameter without damage to the insulation and mounting hardware can be brazed or welded to the sheath.

MgO sensors are recommended where a moisture proof, non-porous insulation is required, and for applications where high pressure, high vibration and high temperature conditions are encountered. These variations make them the logical choice for applications from test labs to heavy industry.

GIC uses only High Purity MgO in our assemblies which is recommended for high temperature applications. MgO is available in sizes from 0.010 to 0.500 inch diameters.
